Take the killer off the shelves
Uh-oh. Seems as if they're drinking aftershave in the land of our dear "friends" the Saudis, where their Taliban-like Islamic law forbids them to drink.
I've been involved with AA in the past as the sister and girlfriend of alcoholics and in those open meetings, drunks confessed to not only drinking aftershave, but even to straining hairspray and hair tonic. (The thought of this makes me retch, as I'm sure the actuality of it makes the imbibers do so, also.) IOW, alcoholics will drink almost anything for its alcohol content.
Gee, Good luck with that Banning Program, Saudi Arabia!
Wonder if they're drinking to forget anything...like the sh*thole country they're living in, for instance?
Notice the name of the town in this report is "Hail," which I'm sure is only a bottle throw away from Hell.
