How can you tell there is no isopropyl in any coctail (bar/street cart / shop)?

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

the idiot distilers do not throw out the fore shots so you can get a whole bottle of meths on occasion that can kill a few people quite well. they have no scientific concept. simple observation shows you when you break from running methanol foreshots to ethanol run without the need even for a thermometer.
you can get those 10L plastic jugs of legit USA spirits for about $32.
so really the danger is pretty minimal as poisoning your clientele does not make sense as a biz model.
Works quite well for cigarette companies :stir:

This is a fine cocktail with midori in it, I highly recommend, and it probably follows your theme:
Equal parts So-co, Amaretto, Midori, white rum and vodka. Add the equivalent amount of the total booze cranberry and orange juice. It's called the anal penetrator.

You can get a bottle of whiskey here for $1.25. Absolut is only $8 a bottle. So yeah, you can do cocktails for a buck fifty without meths. That Rostov vodka costs pennies a bottle and tastes like meths.

I never got DTs like that before , only in cambodia when drinking that 2000 riel beer.
I second this, had regular drinker friends come to Cambodia from Europe only drink beer and complain that they've never
had such hangovers from so little beer before. It happened on some nights only though, so definitely some bad beer being sold here sometimes.
Our non objective opinion is that Angkor beer tastes like I would imagine horse urine would taste, while Cambodia is the best out of the cheap brands.

The cheap weed gets sprayed with pesticide 24 hours before harvest.
