I was traveling recently and as part of a business dinner they brought out a bottle of this stuff and tiny shot glasses. I was pretty excited to try it and it was the first time I had anything other than watery chinese beer for a week.
The shot glasses were tiny, like a 1/3 of a regular shot. The first one tasted foul but I figured it'd get better after a few.
One of the guys at the table then proceeds to explain how in northern china, guests should never refuse their host and should eat/drink everything they're served - and that the host usually tries to get the guest very drunk. Trying to be polite, I drank 10-12 of these tiny shots. They filled the cups immediately after we drank and the next toast was moments away. Halfway in I was getting worried I would puke. I bowed out as graciously as possible and had a couple beers. I also had a headache the next morning....from 3 shots and 3 beers??
Seriously....this shit is nasty. It tastes rancid, chemically and strangely sweet. Anyone had this stuff??
Baijiu....:P wtf...
