This liquor gives new meaning to having a "stiff drink". If you don't swallow it quickly, do you get a stiff neck?

It is not clear if the liquor was marketed identifying the viagra additive. If not, what was the benefit of adding the chemical?

I used to see cards on bulletin boards informing the browsers of 'Sexaholics Anonymous' meetings.

I always wanted to ask for a pint of Sexahol, but never did. Looks like the wily Chinese finally created it...

I'd suspect that avoiding mention of the "secret" ingredient was done in an effort to avoid law enforcement scrutiny. Once word got around that this liquor "enhanced" your sex life, rumor and word of mouth would be just as effective as direct advertising, but without the risk of being prosecuted.

Since when did alcohol need to be enhanced for sexual purposes? Everyone knows that it makes ugly women beautiful and the chain reaction that follows......
