Also, what is he drinking?8000 kip for a 750-mL bottle, same price as for a pint of Beer Lao. This will not end well.
(Someone else's blurry image because my own is even blurrier. I will try to get a photograph of "Gold Lion", the prestige stuff, all of 18000 kip / bottle and it comes in a cardboard box. According to the label, it is "blended under the supervision of an Australian". I am not making this up).
UPDATED For doubters of my veracity.Actually despite a bouquet that is redolent of methyl-ethyl-ketone, it is pleasantly drinkammrwv kij4tnev
UPDATED²: Further research reveals that the stuff I was sampling earlier was actually Lao-lao, a substance produced by fermenting sticky rice. I went back and tried the Red Lion (Smooth and Mellon). According to my tasting notes,
Subtle bouquet of Airfix cement and geranium on the nose. Interestingly corrosive mouth-feel. Flavour dominated by rotten citrus fruits at the front of the tongue, with a lingering aftertaste of old coffee grounds.One or two bottles should be enough to stock the Riddled liquor cabinet. For guests.

According to the label, it is "blended under the supervision of an Australian".
It's primary use is as an anodyne for sheep.

Now why might that be?
...under the supervision of an Australian
that's one of them oxymorons, right?
Now why might that be?
I specified its velocity with too much precision and introduced uncertainty into its location.
C'mon Thunder, dood was willing to put his PHONE NUMBER on the label. He's got more balls with his "whiskey" than we have with our FaceBook pages.
On the other hand (which might be considered the 'gripping hand' in terms of the resultant Grippe), anything manufactured under the supervision of some random Australian is likely to be generally non-toxic. Any other distinction of that process might be considered left-handed at best.
Crikey!
I have only now understood that the label pictured above may not contain the word MANHOOF.
Silly Substance, it is obviously Manhoor.
"smooth and mellon"
What the HELL is it with the phone numbers on the whiskey bottle labels? Is this how you get a date in Laos these days?
Although it's frankly unclear if that's a mobile phone number or if it's merely identifying the whiskey as mobile.
My experience has been that at the point where the bottle is moving of its own accord, forcing aspiring imbibers to lunge gracelessly when attempting to pour another drinky, it may well be time to order a bowl of Cart Noodles instead...
Each bottle has a different number, too!

I have warned the local Jehovah's Witnesses.
