ALCOHOL OR GASOLINE?

HAVE YOU EVER GONE TO A NIGHTCLUB OR BAR AND HAD A FEW DRINKS ONLY TO WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNING WITH THE FEELING LIKE YOU WERE POISONED? WELL, ON IOS SOME OF THE BUSINESS’ THAT SELL ALCOHOL EITHER SUBSTITUTE THE GOOD STUFF WITH CHEAP WELL BOOZE OR POSSIBLY EVEN HOME MADE MOONSHINE.

THE AVERAGE PERSON CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. A GOOD WAY TO GET THE GOOD STUFF IS TO INSIST THE OWNER OR MANAGER HAS A SHOT WITH YOU. IF HE PULLS THE BOTTLE THAT IS BEHIND THE FIRST BOTTLE, THEN CHANCES ARE THE BOTTLE THAT WAS IN FRONT OF THAT ONE WAS THE CHEAP STUFF. USUALLY IT IS THE SMALL BARS THAT DO THAT. THEY WOULD RATHER MAKE A QUICK EURO OR TWO OFF OF UNSUSPECTING TOURISTS RATHER THAN TRY FOR RETURN CUSTOMERS. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THE BIGGER NIGHTCLUBS ON THE MAIN ROAD ALREADY MAKE MONEY AND WOULD RATHER GIVE YOU THE GOOD STUFF SO YOU COME BACK AGAIN EVERY NIGHT. IN OTHER WORDS, TO MAKE A FEW EXTRA EUROS, SOME PEOPLE DO NOT CARE IF YOU ARE TOO SICK TO PARTY THE NEXT DAY.

ANOTHER THING TO WATCH OUT FOR IS BOTTLED WATER. I WENT TO SCORPIONS 5 YEARS AGO AND THEY PRETENDED TO OPEN A FRESH SMALL BOTTLE OF WATER FOR ME. ACTUALLY, I NOTICED THAT AND ASKED FOR AN UPOPENED ONE. HE ADMITTED TO ME THAT THEY RAN OUT AND HAD TO FILL EMPTY BOTTLES WITH TAP WATER. I WAS WASTED AND JUST LAUGHED. BUT THE NEXT DAY I WAS WONDERING WHO DRANK THOSE BOTTLES BEFORE THEY WERE REFILLED. IF YOU ARE BUYING WATER, INSIST ON A FRESH BOTTLE.
