Hello Guys,
No worries, SPOILER!!!! no diarrhoea or stomachache happened, but I basically got sort of a "bad trip" - details in video :)
* Please Drink Responsibly and eat Durian with big caution !!!
P.S. Some extracts regarding the durian vs. alcohol:
"Durian is commonly known as “the king of fruits” and one common myth about this fruit is that you can get drunk from Durian if you eat too much....After searching the web for a while I found out that drinking alcohol and eating Durian as a combo can be very dangerous and sometimes fatal. But few reports of people getting drunk out of it"

"Patients with hypertension often have complications with heart disease. The alcohol content in durian fruit can raise the blood pressure of hypertensive patients. Blood pressure rises would trigger a faster heart rate and heart disease suddenly. Blood pressure monitor which is often located on top of the 200 will lead to heart disease. If the blood pressure and heart attack simultaneously, the effect of the death could have occurred"

"According to island-fruit-dude -- whose over-exaggerated island accent made me suspect he was actually probably from the mid west -- the fruit has extremely arousing side effects, including a sort of warm, tingly LSD-esque body high.
Durian is a stimulant, like coffee, and has a high raw fat content, much like an avocado, which explains the “cream cheese” flavor my brother mentioned.
Not only is the fruit supposedly an aphrodisiac, but durian lovers swear by its addictive quality as well. Like your Thanksgiving turkey, it contains tryptophan, an amino acid which raises levels of serotonin, temporarily easing anxiety and providing the alleged "hot body high" that supposedly occurs when you eat it. Like crack. Fruit crack?"
