Baijiu -- it's better than food poisoning!

Written by Alex Cureton-Griffiths

Really, if that's all we can say about baijiu then it's hardly a ringing endorsement. A while ago we mentioned you should never drink baijiu if you like your liver, but a recent tale heard at a NextStep mixer has prompted us to take a second look:

When going on business trips to underdeveloped areas in China, you're often encouraged to chow down on some of the local food -- which in some cases may not have been prepared all that hygienically. Lucky for you, baijiu can (apparently) act as a natural bug killer, stopping any food poisoning before it begins.

So, if you choose the dodgy food alone, you'll likely spend the next day on the toilet. If you go for the baijiu too, you'll probably spend the next day hugging the toilet. Not much of a choice, to be sure, but at least now you have an option!
