Australian teen cleared of methanol poisoning in Bali Experience stands as a warning: Jason Tuckwell of Stockton became sick while on schoolies in Bali after drinking what was believed to be methanol. Jackson Tuckwell, the Australian teenager thought to have suffered methanol poisoning in Bali while on schoolies, was jubilant on Wednesday night as he celebrated his 18th birthday out on the town in Kuta. Hospital test results have shown the school-leaver from Newcastle did not suffer methanol poisoning as originally suspected. Paul Mergard, the coordinator of the Red Frogs volunteers in Bali, met up with the teenager on Wednesday night and said he had recovered fully and was in good spirits. "We met him last night and he was fine," Mr Merger said. He's a good kid. The 18-year-old , who reportedly lost his vision and ability to walk after drinking a "blaster" cocktail at a club in Kuta, has declined requests to talk to the media. Mr Merger's message for Schoolies was "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is." "If you're going to drink, be careful, particularly if you're drinking those really cheap cocktails," he said.
