Default Re: Sucker\'s 2 day Hangover trip report: The Chinese

Please tell me The Chinese isn't made out of Chinese Rice Wine (50% rice alcohol). I brought a couple bottles back from my last trip, and it's hideous. It's cloyingly sweet, with just a hint of turpentine, which is why I bet all the herbs and flavorings are used.

Whoa, that sounds like it could indeed be The Chinese. The one we have at The Buddha Bar is in a bottle that looks similar to the one in this thread, but it is in a brownish/reddish/orange ceramic bottle.

Check the booze aisle at Ranch99 or similar. I picked up a fifth for fifty cents in Shanghai for the heck of it, stuff was awful. The brand the locals recommended wasn't much better.
