Teenager's stomach removed after drinking a liquid nitrogen cocktail.
[quote]Gaby Scanlon was celebrating her 18th birthday at a bar in Lancaster when she had the drink and began to feel breathless. She developed severe stomach pain and was taken to hospital where she was diagnosed with a perforated stomach.
Doctors performed emergency surgery to remove her stomach and save her life.

Man, that sucks. I expect to hear about a court case soon.. Though I am curious about one thing: How does having no stomach effect one's life?
