    Good find.

    The first thing to be aware of is that are two major ways in which counterfeiters infiltrate the market. The first involves filling up empty bottles from genuine distributors with cheaper alternatives. The second involves making their own knock-off concoctions to put inside. Ethylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol, and methanol, are the chemicals most commonly substituted for ā€œcertified alcoholā€ ethanol, due to the similar inebriating effects, but unlike real alcohol, the debilitating side effects take hold abruptly and are much more severe.

    These can include nausea, headaches, dizziness, and in some rare cases, permanent blindness, kidney and heart failure, and even death. A good rule of thumb is that if you encounter symptoms that you would normally associate with being hungover before youā€™ve even left the bar then itā€™s more than likely that youā€™ve been ingesting fake booze.

    For this reason itā€™s good to know what to look for before sinking a potentially poisonous drink, a task easier said than done.

      Letā€™s also not forget that birds canā€™t handle their scoops. My missus has been convinced and her and her mates have all been spiked on a night out when in fact, it was drinking vast quantities of piss-poor Prosecco til 3am that made you fall over, get refused a cab, get in at five am and have the worldā€™s worst headache. ā€œWe mustā€™ve been spiked the same thing happened to everyoneā€. No. Everyone did the same thing - did anyone get abducted? No? Right, Iā€™ll see you later love, Iā€™m off out

        I Know few bar restaurant owners in Goa. They would only buy their alcohol from proper licenced wholesalers. They do get offered loads is cheap alcohol from people in vans just turning up. They always say no as if they did and they ended poisoning there customers theyā€™d lose license and business. No doubt it definitely goes on in some backstreet bars.

        Along_the_Wire True about Prosecco and its not just the girls - I was having a lovely night until the group switched to prosecco and then the whole thing went to shit. All of us. More than one occasion.

        Since youā€™ve brought it up Iā€™ve realised Prosecco is actually the fucking devil unless youā€™re just starting with it / having a cheers.

          NasserAlazzawi The most destructive night Iā€™ve had is on the Absolute Chambulls pitchers at Revs

          Vodka, Red Bull and Prosecco

          What could go wrong? Rocket fuel šŸ˜†šŸ˜†

            Along_the_Wire lol. ā€˜i think I was rapedā€™. Nope, I just slyly thumbed it in while you were passed outā€¦..

            Actually, I think that might be rape. Googling it now.

            Along_the_Wire I mean adding it in at the end after a night having a decent night. It changes shit really quickly!

            And I was with my lass and other couples so back off mofo.

            hugopal Beijing just keeps sounding more and more fantastic the more you post about it!
