Beer/Drinks

Yeah…just kidding.  Of course we’re posting on our favorite holiday.  Halloween has it all:

  1. Scared children
  2. Strangers
  3. A chance to wear drag!
  4. An excuse to buy a ton of candy…for the ‘children’
  5. A chance to be a hobo, Nick Nolte’s Mug shot, or a bear attack victim (my last three costumes).

So in honor of halloween, I’m posting photos of the most horrifingly scary liquor since Jagermeister.

Retrieved from the clutches of a Vietnamese warlord in an Ong-Bak style brawl in Hanoi by an Epic Portions contributor (Thanks Dave!!), this liquor is rumored to have a variety of medicinal and sensual benefits.  Actually, he bought it for $5.

Unlike many of the other cobra/snake/scorpion whiskeys out there, this bottle contains both a Cobra AND a scorpion.  That makes it a two for one deal: aphrodisiac AND old fashioned virility tonic!
