Mueren 7 cubanos y 46 permanecen intoxicados por consumo de alcohol met?lico - Cuba - ElNuevoHerald.com
Although the article talks about an incident in Cuba this hits close to home because I know this happens in the DR as well. I was once poisoned with fake Chivas Regal 18 at a night club in Santiago. It is totally messed up that 1. they sell this type of booze 2. consumers don't know how to spot the difference. Yes yes yes there are "experts" that can tell when the booze is real or fake. Everyone has their own little way of "telling" between the two. But not a concrete way has been identified.
Mind you...this is no secret and has been happening not only in the DR but all over the world where there is no QA for ages.
SCARY stuff if you ask me!!! Might just stick to the booze I bring to the DR from NY. Or when in the DR just drink beer.
