So I'm drinking a grain alcohol, 'Coconut Fenny / Feni' from Goa. I have no idea how potent it is, nor how it's made, nor if it's sanitary (there are buggy things floating in it), and all I know is that it was smuggled into the country by my Goan friend, and it tastes like unviscous saliva. I'm getting drunk on it, and I had to start a thread. Because grain alcohol is TITS!
I found these quotes about Fenny / Feni
What about the safety and quality of feni? Is the stuff which is sold in the market, today, good and safe? You guessed right. One has to be very careful, nowadays, while buying feni for home use or while consuming it in bars.
Spurious feni is reported to be sold and served in many places. What is alarming is that some unscrupulous sellers are known to sell spurious feni containing Navsagar and even ammonium chloride and zinc chloride from the batteries, in order to boost it’s strength. Spurious feni is injurious to human health. A good drinker can easily tell the difference between a genuine feni and an adulterated one by it’s taste and flavour.

I smelled it a minute ago, and now I'm sorta convinced there's something inorganic in the brew.

Spurious feni is injurious to human health.I am just loving the use of spurious/injurious. Its the sort of wordcraft and attention to detail that I like to see in my internet rotgut warnings. What do we call this? It's not alliteration or assonance, or is it?
