12 strangest and most dangerous alcoholic drinks in the world

Traveling to different countries, we will inevitably learn something new, get acquainted with the local culture and history, try their traditional dishes and drinks. It is for the new knowledge and impressions that travel gives us that we love them so much. However, with gastronomic tastings, you should always be extremely careful not to inadvertently harm your body. The same rule should be followed with regard to alcohol. It must be borne in mind that sometimes the ingredients of some drinks are so peculiar that if you knew about it, you would never agree to drink them. But if you still decide, remember that drinking alcohol is dangerous to health, especially if it's something like this:

Goldenrot

Goldenrot is essentially a regular cinnamon-flavored schnapps with a strength of 53.5%. But when you see the price of this Swiss drink, you will be outraged and think "well, it is not made of gold!" But the trouble is that this is exactly so. Gold shavings are added to the drink, and each liter contains over 15 milligrams. Because of this, it is recommended to strain Goldenrot before drinking, otherwise you risk suffering from unpleasant consequences for the body.

Mouse vodka rice

Strong alcohol infused with scorpions and caterpillars will not surprise anyone, but what about vodka on small mice? The cubs are chosen even without wool, not older than three weeks, and poured with vodka. Then the drink stands for a year in a dark, cool place, after which it can be drunk. According to the manufacturers, it not only tastes great, but also helps protect against disease.

Chicha

The Chichi recipe was invented by the ancient Incas over six centuries ago: women carefully chew corn and spit the resulting paste into a jug, which is then diluted with water and infused in clay bottles. However, now they are trying to ban this drink, since it can become a causative agent of diseases.

Snake Wine

And although Vietnam is the birthplace of this drink, today its preparation technology is also used in other Asian countries. The main ingredient of this wine is a poisonous snake, which is poured with alcohol to neutralize the poison. Sometimes, for "decoration", small snakes, cockroaches, turtles and even birds are also added there.

Ayahuasca

Ayahuasca - the name of the melon creeper or the "creeper of the dead", which is the key ingredient in the drink of the same name. You can try it in one of the wild tribes of the Amazon. It is worth knowing that this is a powerful psychotropic drug that causes hallucinations. According to the Indians, Ayahuasca allows you to connect with the world of the dead.

Changaa

In the slums of Kenya, they prepare their own version of moonshine, which is called changaa. It would seem that there is nothing unusual in its composition - sorghum and corn - but we should not forget that this is Africa, which means they do not care about sanitary standards, in addition to dirty water, they can add jet fuel or battery acid to the drink for taste. The consequences of drinking such alcohol can be easily imagined, not for nothing that the literal translation of its name sounds like "kill me quickly."

Everclear

This is the name of the strongest liquor in the world, which, for its degree (95%), fell into the Guinness Book of Records. And although this is more likely real alcohol, it was nicknamed liquor for its mild flavor.

Fijjtu

Fijjtu is an African beer based on rotten and parasitic water. People who tried it tell that the state of intoxication is accompanied by amazing images and colors that have never been seen in real life. Perhaps for this he was nicknamed "God's dew." However, the factory, which produced such an original beer, worked for only five years and closed in 2003.

Gilpin family whiskey

James Gilpin became the inventor of this collection whiskey, for the excellent taste of the once awarded the title of "drink of the gods". However, then no one knew what exactly was part of it. It turned out that it is made from the urine of elderly people with type 2 diabetes. It is filtered through a purification filter and then added to the drink. Whiskey is made only to order and there are many who want to buy it.

Tsongsul

Such a strange drink is not very popular even in Korea, the country of origin. This is probably due to the fact that the composition includes human feces, together with medicinal herbs, crushed into gruel and insisted on alcohol. Once Korean journalists gave a drink to Chinese women for a joke. The girls noted a very pleasant aftertaste, but, learning the truth about how they make it, they quickly changed their minds.

Molort

Wormwood schnapps Molort can be called the most disgusting to taste alcoholic drink, and I don’t even want to talk about its fetid smell. A reasonable question would be: "who drinks it at all and why?" But those who wish are and, most likely, to satisfy the desire for thrills.

Rotten Toe Cocktail

Perhaps this signature drink of the Canadian bar "Sourtoe Cocktail Club" is, by strangeness, the leader of our list. A cocktail, the cost of which is about $ 5, is made from a real severed toe of a person drenched in some kind of alcohol. According to legend, in the distant 73rd year, captain Dick Sivens threw his finger into the glass of a friend. And now a cocktail with an amputated finger has become a tradition for joining the local elite club.
