Goldschlager.. true? - GoFuckYourself.com

Is it true the little pieces of gold in Goldschlager cut little slits in the inside of your throat so you absorbed the alcohol faster?

Someone told me that tonight. A bit hard to believe..

Never drink anything that might make you shit glitter.

It's true! But it's just flecks of gold leaf.

I wasn't sure.. We were taking fireball shots earlier. Just thought I'd ask GFY. It's faster than research and easier when drunk...

It's real gold, and no it does not cut slits.

Fancy bakers sometimes decorate cakes with real gold also.

Strange but true.

All I know is Id have shit out a friggin gold brick by now with as much of it I drank in the late 90's.

Goldschlhahaha228;ger is a Swiss cinnamon schnapps (43.5%), a clear liqueur with very thin yet visible flakes of gold floating in it. The actual amount of gold is extremely small and serves as a sort of novelty.

An urban legend associated with this drink is that the gold flakes cause small incisions in one's esophagus, therefore allowing the alcohol to enter one's bloodstream faster. While that has not been verified, Goldschlhahaha228;ger was, a few years after its introduction, reformulated to contain less gold, possibly due to some individuals suffering allergic reactions. [1]

Goldschlhahaha228;ger is a product of Italy. It contains 43.5% alcohol by volume (87 proof). The previously noted urban legend is likely the result of a misdirected comparison between the perceived level of innebriation one has after drinking Goldschlhahaha228;ger versus another spirit. Such a comparison would be misdirected if the spirit in question was 80 proof as many are because Goldschlhahaha228;ger is 87 proof.

There is currently less than a tenth of a gram (0.1 g) of gold flakes in a 750 mL bottle of Goldschlhahaha228;ger, which amounts to less than $2.22 on the international gold market.

I don't know, but I fucking love Goldschlager so much I drink it straight out of the bottle. Which reminds me, I haven't had it in awhile. Looks like this weekend needs to be a Goldschlager weekend.
