Seven women died and almost 100 were hospitalized in the latest incident after drinking home-burned that contained up to 15 percent methanol.
The two previous occasions took place in connection with two funerals. Respectively 14 and 10 people died after drinking home-burned there.
At least 15 brewers and sellers of homemade rice wine have been arrested, the police in Cambodia said on Friday.
Cambodia is among Asia’s poorest countries and outside the big cities there are almost no health and safety standards. Homemade rice wine is popular in the countryside for celebrating weddings, festivals and for use in funerals.
