Re: Would you drink it?
Meh. In Vietnam they also drink liquor with the heart of a snake in it. That is to say, you swallow the liquor AND the heart. At the same time.
We Vietnamese consider that to be kind of a backwoods hick drink, though. I've never had it and neither has anyone else in my family.
Also, there's no practical health code in Vietnam. Oh there's probably a government agency that's supposed to be in charge of that kind of thing, but whatever power they have is gutted by corruption. I've seen restaurants keeping a block of ice on the ground next to the bathroom door and then chipping pieces off of it to put into drinks. You can be reasonably certain that something produced in the US won't be blatantly poisonous. You can't be so sure in Vietnam.
So no, I wouldn't drink it. For all you know, it might be methanol instead of ethanol.
