    I've heard about this here and there...a couple idiots drinking rubbing alcohol, cologne or mouthwash. Had no idea it was so widespread over there though. Those stats are pretty shocking.

I overheard one of the say aftershave and the other say lysol I'm not sure which of them won but money was exchanged and one was grinning while the other was shrugging.

    Have you ever tasted aftershave? A little drop in your mouth is bad enough!

    There have been TV programmes about drinking in Eastern Europe and some of the dangerous cheap drinks sold over there. A lot of dodgy people selling very dodgy alcohol as cheap as possible.
