Question What kind of alcohol is this?

My friend has had this bottle of alcohol at his house for god knows how long, I don't even know where he got it from. All I know is that it smells horrible and none of us have ever had the ***** to try it.

Anyone care to translate the text from it in the pics below?

That is some ChiCom moonshine. Good for degreasing driveways and killing your liver and kidneys.

now comes in different versions ranging in alcohol content from the standard 53% by volume down to 35%

The standard is 106 proof...that's potent.

Looking at that site and matching the label with the actual bottle (pic is dead on the OP), I wouldn't drink anything that comes out something that looks like a bottle of brake fluid.

when i was vacationing in China last year, i was given some alcohol from my relatives. i read the bottle and i believe it was something like 90ish proof. i thought that 90ish proof isn't too bad since JD is almost the same. i didn't even do one shot, and i was buzz. that stuff was potent as hell! the beer they got, that was direct opposite.

Careful what you say. Somebody just might hold you to it.
