A teenager swore off alcohol after a cocktail caused her head to swell, according to the Evening Gazette.

19-year-old Corinne Coyle was treating herself to a cocktail consisting of Baileys, chili, tequila, absinthe, ouzo, vodka, cider and gin, as well as a "secret ingredient," at a Greek resort when her body reacted violently to the mixture, causing her head to swell.

According to her mother's account,

"She drank only about a third of it then her friend said 'have you seen your head?' Then Corinne said 'I know, I have brain-freeze'. When they went to the toilet her forehead had doubled in size. She panicked and they got straight into a taxi and went to hospital."

It is not known whether her face will return to normal.
