Post by: woe10 on July 26, 2014, 15:13:51 PM



The cheap vodka giving British holidaymakers the Rushkinoff Cough:
Thousands complain of mysterious ailment after drinking cheap spirit in Spain.

I know there are bars in Caleta De Fuste that serve cheap rubbish as their Happy Hour Vodka

I drank some [about 5 pints] very reasonably prices beer in a Weatherspoons in the UK and fell over and broke my finger. Bloody English beer!

When I ran a pub in Salou in the 70's we sold a local spirit called Virben - 80 pesetas a 2 liter bottle or you could get it even cheaper in a graffa. Great for lighting a primus stove!
