After a few shots you could hardly tell though.

Quite a while ago, I was working with some Chinese government officials in the US and on Sundays theyâ€™d take me to the local Chinese restaurant which they had shut down for the afternoon, where the staff served what I assume was dim sum and they had copious bottles of what they termed â€œChinese whiskey.â€ The stuff was absolutely lethal, but it was a lot of fun. After a particularly boozy afternoon one of them gave his hat, I wonder if he got into trouble for that? :confused:

Quite. Though the thrill of drinking kai-kai and not being sure of the methanol content only added to the excitement.

I am in BC, and we have private liquor stores and I am amazed they can even make money considering how little they actually make, very small amount of the price goes to the store, profit is so so small.Government is making a killing though.
