Cocktail puts teenager in hospital

A teenager's head swelled up like a football after she drank an exotic holiday cocktail.

Corinne Coyle was taken to hospital after she reacted to a "secret ingredient" in the 10 euros mixture of Baileys, chilli powder, tequila, absinthe, ouzo, vodka, cider and gin.

Doctors do not know whether the 19-year-old university administrator's face will return to normal. Ms Coyle _ who has vowed never to touch alcohol again _ is recovering at home in Middlesbrough and has been advised to rest and drink plenty of water.
