Looks like it's back to handfuls of purell for me.

I've just been blinded from drinking bootleg vodka so I'm really getting a kick out of ij hdohi esgjc eimghwbom sj hddi;spp.

PoopStain: ...is said to have a hint of acetone smell (similar to nail varnish), with the printed wording smudged on the labelling found on the bottles in Norwich.

(a) I'm amazed that anyone thinks they are getting something fit for human consumption when they buy own-label vodak. I still have a bottle from my student days that I use instead of white spirit sometimes to dissolve sticky marks.

(b) I can't believe I looked it up (^): "Several studies report no effects or minor effects (slight drowsiness) in people who ingested up to 20 grams/day for several days. Animal toxicity information also suggests that acetone is not very toxic following ingestion." Yummy.

(c) Acetone will smudge the ink on the label, though. Better to put the cap on before applying the label to your fake bottle.

Just because it's got a fake label doesn't mean it's not real vodak. Hell, Chinese knockoff rolex watches keep time just like any other watch. Fake purses still hold coins. Fake designer clothes still clothe you.
The acetone probably just spilled onto the fake labels when they were making them.

I'm having a vodak moment. I've been having lots of them lately.

Around here they can't sell liquor at grocery stores so grocery stores sell "Rushkoff" vodka. It's a 20% clear malt liquor with vodka flavouring.

The horrible flavour is only trumped by the depression induced when you realize that you have to drink twice as much to get anywhere.
