Nigerian news website, Pulse Nigeria, has warned young people are drinking a mix of methylated spirits and Coca-Cola to get high.

Methylated spirits, also known as denatured alcohol, are any liquids that contain ethanol and additives to make them undrinkable.

They are often used as fuel or solvents.

It's not clear why people are drinking methylated spirits nor how widespread the problem is.

One Nigerian user tweeted about the drink earlier this week: "God please what's happening to this generation?"
