when foreigners come to china they get obsessed with alcohol like drinking er guo tou jiu “二锅头酒” Chinese white spirits lol
11 years 50 weeks ago in Health & Safety - China
To be honest, I am the only one I know of. None of my foreign friends in Guilin nor in Beijing will take more than the "polite sip".
I dont like bai jiu but i do enjoy eg guo tou, though my preferred drink is gin and tonic.
Foriegers like drinking this crap about as much as locals like eating a block of cheese.
I've been buying it to take home. Its cheaper than paint stripper and I want to do some body work on my 38 Chevy this summer.
ok, there we have it.
I am the only foregner in China who drinks er guo tou, and none drink baijiu.....

Shall we get together to drink? I enjoy the hell out of 牛栏山. It took time to acquire a taste for it, but I've come to really like it. It's better to drink it while the weather is cold, but I want stray to far from it during the summer. 
GuilinRaf:
Sounds good! It is indeed a winter drink. Summer I rather have cold beer and cold cocktails.
I wouldn't drink that piss if you paid me. It's absolutel garbage.
I don't and I don't know any of my buddies who will voluntarily touch that sh*t!
this is a chinese person trying to say all foreigners are drunks. if he knew any better he would know beer is the drug of choice
GuilinRaf:
Man! So far I am the only er guo tou drinker here among the expats!
Yes, beer is indeed a necessity here in China even tough it may often times be limited to piss tasting variants. Many ain "interesting dish" were made more palatable with a cleansing beer to help it along. Also, a proven remedy for a BCD.
crimochina:
i have no idea what er guo tou is but i do like a cheap hard liquor drink. 5 rmb per bottle. it is good to mix with lemonade and 7up
GuilinRaf:
I myself had never heard of it unti comiing to Beijng. Seems world famous here.
