China's Liuzhou Food and Drug Administration has warned that distilleries in Liunan District are producing booze contaminated with chemicals used in the production of erectile dysfunction treatment Viagra. The Administration reported that products named “Kung Fu wine pot of gold” and “Liu Pa god health wine” were found to …

Where can I order some ?

Built in brewer's droop antidote.

[I ain't Spartacus]

You can't. It's only for hardened drinkers...

[Blubster]

Gives new meaning to having a stiff drink.

[Anonymous Custard]

Yeah but you have to down it in one, or else you get a stiff neck...

@Blubster

Gives new meaning to having a stiff drink.

That stiffness may end up being an outright rigor mortis if the drinker is on a high blood pressure medication.

[Anomalous Cowturd]

I'll have a large one please!

Oh, that was quick.

Thanks.

[Slartybardfast]

It might cause the agencies to prick up their ears a bit

[Fink-Nottle]

The ban was put in place after an inspector got a hot tip.

My main question is: why?

What's the motivation for them to put viagra in their knock-off booze? I can understand people putting in methanol or the likes, but Viagra? Why?

[Roq D. Kasba]

Perhaps sinadefil production is a side-line, and the kit is contaminated?

What I can't fathom is how someone decided to *test* for sinadefil contamination of hooch?

I suspect the unexpected side effects. A stiff drink is normally not followed by stiffness elsewhere, so someone must have had a heads up, pardon the pun :).

"What I can't fathom is how someone decided to *test* for sinadefil contamination of hooch?"

Probably got suspicious after tying one on, then realising he couldn't roll over in bed.

" I can understand people putting in methanol or the likes, but Viagra? Why?"

It's a very common translation error. They couldn't get enough wood alcohol so they thought they were using the next best thing...

[ratfox]

It's a publicity stunt

What better to get people to buy their alcohol?

Contamination?

Is it really contamination when it's blatantly intentionally been added?

"Is it really contamination when it's blatantly intentionally been added?"

Tell you what. Let me take your beer to the bathroom for a moment and you can tell me.

[Fungus Bob]

Re: Contamination?

It isn't contamination as long as they change the name of the product to "Doctor Porkenheimer's Boner Juice"...

[Zog_but_not_the_first]

That explains it!

Everybody was Kung Fu f...

Oh, wait...

Mine's the one with the black belt.

Taking the "piss" perhaps?

Drinking water plants all over the world fail to treat water for a wide variety of drugs such as antibiotics, birth control, pain medication, etc that people excrete every day. Why would they make a special effort to treat for Viagra?

The reason is simple, the Viagra is already in the "drinking water" and the batch of wine had drinking water in it.

Or perhaps it came from the chem-trail of a low flying aircraft.

If I were you I'd delete that comment and re-post as an AC. You don't want the lizard people knowing your identity.

Re: Taking the "piss" perhaps?

If they made that wine with CHINESE drinking water, it was probably not fit for human consumption !!!

(It is so bad, I even run the bottled water through a military grade filter before daring to drink)

[Peter Galbavy]

Better than the morons who sell tiger-bone infused wine or whatever...

Maybe it will save wildlife everywhere

Yes, I thought this was good news for bears and rhinos and anything else that means 'strength' and 'hard horniness' to old rich guys in China.

Re: Corrent Medical Name for Viagra

For the naming committee, it was a long, hard decision meeting. It wasn't unanimous and had a messy climax.

But they knuckled down to it, and were soon finished off...

Dogbert's Fault?

That's what happens when you give the Marketing Dept. carte blanche.......

[arober11]

They'll have a "hard" time explaining that away

Wonder if we'll see a transcript of the Police interview :)

He broke that piece of wood and didn't even move his hands

It's not his hands you need to watch.

Good news for rare species...

[wolfetone]

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, never ever let me get, flaccid.

Hmm..

*Removes post after seeing the gag already done*

[cortland]

Getting a rise

As President Lincoln said of General Grant's drinking, "Find out what he drinks and send some to my other generals."

If we can't get good law from them, maybe some imported "Kung Fu" would get at least a rise out of Congress.

[hatti]

Should have expected it really

This thread turned into a knob gag fest.

"Food quality has been high on government agendas ever since, making this new incident very serious indeed in China. "

Riiiight.
