The Great Thing About Cointreau

[joggerjayne]

... is that because it comes in SUCH a funky little square bottle ...

... it can't POSSIBLY have any bad effects ... no matter

HOW MUCH you drink.

This is a definite fact.

it's the acetaldehyde. I quote:

"Metronidazole is believed to have the ability to block the body's breakdown of alcohol, leading to an accumulation of a substance called acetaldehyde in the bloodstream.

Theoretically, this may occur within 10 minutes of ingestion of alcohol and may last several hours.

It is said to be characterised by intense flushing, breathlessness, headache, increased or irregular heart rate, low blood pressure, nausea and vomiting.

This possible reaction is dangerous because it is so unpredictable and may be extremely severe."

So it's Pepsi Max for me as for some reason Costco have been selling it at half the price of Diet Coke for a couple of months.
