When I first moved to the armpit of Arabia known as Qatar there were only two things I was worried about not being able to have; ladies, because I thought all of the women were kept on “lock down” and had to wear burkas, and no booze. I could pretty much deal with the no ladies thing because I figured whenever I got “anxious” I would just sweet talk an Army gal or hop over to Bahrain or Dubai.
Much to my relief, when I first arrived I saw a plethora of beautiful off-duty stewardess (from the local airline) hanging out at Starbucks I felt a wave of relief that at least one of my “needs” would be fulfilled. But not having booze would have killed me, I was positive that I would have had a “coming off of heroin” like experience if I couldn’t drink.
I quickly learned as far as Booze goes in Qatar there were only 3 options as a for me to get my medicine…

The announcement is as follows:

Several years ago while touring the sierra madre of northern mexico I was introduced to Hornitos Brand Tequila (100% puro Agave sauza).
Out of the 500 or so name brands of tequila in Mexico it is now the ONLY one that I drink. The word “Hornito” translates to Little oven in English but this tequila has a smooth flavor and needs no chaser.

Mekong Whisky looks a little like pee but fortunately it doesn’t taste like it looks, tastes more like cheep whisky with a twist (of what I don’t want to know). But even if whiskey isn’t your booze of choice you still have to try some because getting drunk on Mekong whisky is a part of visiting Thailand that you just can’t skip.
Don’t pay attention to anyone that tells you that the manufacture puts formaldehyde in it, it isn’t true. Try with Indonesian Red Bull and ice; don’t worry about eating the ice because the formaldehyde in the whisky should kill any bacteria.

I saw some dude cooking this “thing” on the roadside in Indonesia a few months ago and snapped a pik.
Anyone have a guess as too what it is? (it smelled ok).
