Golden Balls Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 Heard a lot about this from the trade but seems to be getting worse. Basically, avoid drinking cheap Vodka. Including Smirnoff too it seems. If you do decide to to go for the dirty/cheap option, double check everything and enjoy your dirty hangover in the morning http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/07/31/deadly-tide-of-fake-alcohol-is-flooding-britain-police-and-customs-officers-warn-115875-23308047/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintandy666 Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 I was told about this. How can you tell a fake bottle from a real bottle? I only ever buy Vodka from supermarkets anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-scooby Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 Its nasty stuff, it can make you go blind, sick, wake up with a stinking hangover, just like the real stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Balls Posted 2 August, 2011 Author Share Posted 2 August, 2011 Are these being sold in supermarkets or just offies? That's the worry. It could get in somewhere down the line. Mainly in independant places or small wholesalers is the likely place to find these. Stick to clean Vodka like Finlandia & Stoli. Much less likely to get a hangover from them too.

Mainly in independant places or small wholesalers is the likely place to find these. Stick to clean Vodka like Finlandia & Stoli. Much less likely to get a hangover from them too. Plenty of fake Stoli around. Lots of it sold as "Black market" booze down here by Asian Mafia gangs to the poor labourers who don't have any other way to get hold of alcohol legally King Robert Vodka is genuine stuff but should be fake (they also make Gin & Whisky) Made in the UK (according to the label) and sold over here & a few places in Asia. Without all the taxes it costs 4 quid a litre. It works in punches or with Red Bull, is vile, but won't posion you/ (Compare that with the price of a pint in most pubs here now, 7 quid) Indian manufacturers produce Gin Vodka Run & Scotch, their stuff costs around 2-3 quid a bottle, and is really good for getting stains out the bottom of old tea-mugs. It is vile, melts your stomach lining but won't posion you. With such high taxes the profit margins for people making the fake stuff is so massive; & the whole "got it from a bloke at the car Boot Sale" "buy a bargain" mentality is so prevalent these days in UK, it's a surprise many more people don't get killed by this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsk Posted 2 August, 2011 Share Posted 2 August, 2011 I know people here who brew their own vodka. It is pretty lethal stuff, but hasn't killed me (so far). Although I do prefer to stick to the proper stuff, which is only about £3-£4 per litre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
