I was stationed at Nakhon Phanom, Thailand in 1972-73 and was introduced to Lao Lao at my 21st birthday party by my girlfriend ... I was told I had a real good time.
Laos is one of the #1 countries for unexploded ordinance in the world. I wouldn't want to get drunk and decide to go for a hike in nature, might be the last one you take
So glad she actually tasted it with him like he had asked her to. Unlike the one girl who "tried" to eat a large whole piece of sushi and took a tiny bite.
My first drink was a shot of 190 proof ever clear. My friends thought it would be funny to have me do a shot of that instead of the vodka I had originally planned.
Oh you poor soul, I'm so sorry. Could be worse, my first drink was a trashcan -_-. My friends filled up an old pepsi bottle with jagermeister, vodka, taquila, beer, everclear, rum, whiskey, and a shot of soda for flavor.
Very wicked stuff, locals always liked to get into Drinking comps with me back in the early 90's, their only little people so it wouldn't take long before they crashed out, they used to sell it in water bottles for about 50 cents, I put a bottle in the Russian 125cc dirt bike I was on & it was like Nitro.
The first batch of distilled liquor usually contains high amounts of methanol, which actually can make you blind. Probably why he said the first batch is strongest XD
they actually use the first batch (foreshot) to clean and sanitise their fermenting drums so no bacteria will harm the next fermentation.. production must go on..
Methanol is what damages the retina and may cause blindness. It has a lower boiling point that ethanol and is the first thing to come out during the distillation process.
Never drink the first batch. This is where all the ethanol runoff goes. If the brewer doesn't understand that you should toss the first batch or let the initial vapors escape for a few minutes then you will end up poisoning the drinkers.
Did Gordon just *slowly* drink 60% alcohol whisky? Did...did he forget you're supposed to just knock those back? I don't even drink alcohol more than once a month and even *I* know that!
I took half a cup with my family when I went to visit. Here, we take the whole thing, you know downing it. There, I didn't know you sipped. Yeah, took the half cup(red cup) around noon. Passed out half an hour later and woke up the next day with the worst hangout ever haha
i like Gordon but i HATE how he spits stuff out all the time. be a big man and consume peoples' hard work! Tony Bourdain talked about how he never spit anything out because it's an obvious kind of disrespect, even if it's meant as a laugh.
I also found it a little insulting that he mentioned blindness which is a very real danger if you don't know what your doing. I would assume he knows what he is doing considering he doesn't want friends and family to go blind and I don't think many people would do business with him if it did.
He drinks a cocktail after work and has a delicate pallette from not smoking and not drinking much so he can't take it. Anthony bourdain like Marco pierre white did every substance under the sun with a cigarette hanging from his chops and still was able to taste like a pro. Different animals completely.
@Michael McVey moonshine causing blindness is a real thing that can happen but basically is a massive myth spread by the federal government during prohibition. you don't create a family legacy of moonshining while blinding people from sloppy manufacturing.
He had to spit out 120 proof moonshine? What a wus! Last summer I was at a picnic and a guy showed up with some moonshine (The real deal and not the commercial crap you buy in liquor stores) and the stuff was as smooth as could be. I'm not much of a drinker and I could handle it.
I can hold my own with alcohol but just wanted to die after taking a shot of Spirytus (192 proof). Like my lips were on fire before I could even taste it. Wasn't a pleasant evening.

Her uncles probably pushed your poop in the back and you have no idea foreigner
"I was told I had a good time"😂😂😂
Who asked?
@@franciscoaguilar1578 I ASKED
@@GuckFary sure you did buddy
Look at the guy laughing! He knew what he was doing, absolute lad 👍
I so love and respect this man. He has always been the ultimate risk-tasker in my eyes. That moonshine looks pretty damn strong.
Same, he gets down and dirty.
Work hard, be happy and drink moonshine. Seems nice, especially with such a drinking buddy
dont you mean…seems rice?
Too simple, too boring
@@FuzzyPurp hahaha
Laos is one of the #1 countries for unexploded ordinance in the world. I wouldn't want to get drunk and decide to go for a hike in nature, might be the last one you take
But your last act would be a noble one as you contributed to both the decrease in ordinance AND further proving Darwin's law.
@@Joesmoothdog I doubt the last thing going through your mind would be anything but noble, it'd be ur ass😂😂🤣
The US left them there
So glad she actually tasted it with him like he had asked her to. Unlike the one girl who "tried" to eat a large whole piece of sushi and took a tiny bite.
"first batch is always a little stronger"... Bro I'm pretty sure Gordon just drank like 40% methanol
more like 70-80% LOL you can use those as hand sanitizer during Covid in fact they did 😂😂😂
That would be 60% ABV. 120 proof.
My first drink was a shot of 190 proof ever clear. My friends thought it would be funny to have me do a shot of that instead of the vodka I had originally planned.
I'm curious what the aftermath was lol
Lighter fluid as a first drink.

tries 120 proof dirty thai moonshine but won't take a puff from a joint...
Lmfao Ik I’m late but fr tho fucking Gordon
I’d fall off the wagon if I had a drinking buddy like that.
I've had that stuff at a few celebrations when I was there, yes, it is damn potent!
In fairness, Ramsay barely drinks Bud light on special occasions
He is gordon
He is from london
hahaha
Bars brr

Yea but do u really doubt the work of a career moonshiner?
@The Mississippi Oasis exactly first bit known as the heads gets tossed
It's called the heads and we throw that away
@@missourimongoose8858 nah mate the heads are great for cleaning and other jobs, just don't drink it
She said "ooh me?!¡ 😳 👌🏼 okay" lol 😆 she a keeper ...
"Don't drink that we use it to burn warts off the mules"
*Ron Swanson*

Did anybody else notice how drop dead gorgeous the translator is?
I did! I could spend a lot of time with her 😉
2:15
Gordon: "My lips are numb ... maybe you can help with me with that?"
May all your days be filled with sunshine,and your nites filled with moonshine.....
Haha!
Did Gordon just *slowly* drink 60% alcohol whisky? Did...did he forget you're supposed to just knock those back? I don't even drink alcohol more than once a month and even *I* know that!
@Jacob King what he was actually doing was a wuss test, on himself, and it was positive.
I personally like to slowly sip on my pure grain alcohol
The people there sound like they are pretty laid back. That's how it should be!
that translator's husband/bf is damn lucky
Ok, this now has become rather weird after some recent news.
I always thought you needed natural spring water for moonshine who knew the secret was a muddy river.
The secret is rice
You need clean water for the mash but you can use whatever water you have for the condenser cuz it never touches the booze
What a wonderful people.
She didn’t translate right at the end, she basically said he’s been arrested already, and he went to jail lol
I'd spit Jack Daniels before I spit out that shine.
I took half a cup with my family when I went to visit. Here, we take the whole thing, you know downing it. There, I didn't know you sipped. Yeah, took the half cup(red cup) around noon. Passed out half an hour later and woke up the next day with the worst hangout ever haha
Gordon's wife better watch out. I think Ramsay is starting to develop signs of yellow fever.
Lmfao. I've had yellow fever for years, and I'm still single
@@TheB00tyWarrior gotta liquor up some Lao women, it's the British way
Translator and drinking buddy, what could go wrong haha.
"My lips are numb" "hahaha"
Damn 120 proof 😮 that's some strong stuff I think I'd be on my ass 😅
Thats incredible! And awesome to see how in some countries they can do this with no problem
Love this
"First batch is a little stronger"
Doesn't tip out the heads
1:58 Your poor liver!!
The fact that SHE swallowed it and the Scottish bloke could not lmfao
1:47 enjoy
gordon is a proper bloke
im lowkey crushing on the translator im a sucker for foreign girls
My guy, any non American woman is immediately considered hot ngl
@Squeegee Your Third Eye go squeegee your third eye and leave me alone
for some of missed translations…he said for the first batch is little bit strong you will have farty..fart..Hahaha
Love the S.E.A VDO(S).
It's like a cask strength Scotch. I feel like it's not that bad
you know Gordon hit that translator .
Rude to spit out another man's booze in front of him.
I don’t think he did shit that strong will make your mouth water like you’re going to puke. He was coughing so I believe he swallowed it
@@Stupidhaole808 No he didnt swallow but after having 100 proof or higher liquor in his mouth and inhaling he got something we call dragons breath xD
I think if you can run your motorcycle on said booze there is an exception. I’ve tried this stuff, the hangover is deadly.
Better than letting it go in and vomiting it all out
At least the rice got thoroughly washed in the brown river water
The good Moonshine is in East Tennessee Gordan!
I love #unchated
He probably gave him head of the liquor full of menthol lol. Lucky he didn’t go blind
Bourdain would have been drinking that like water
120? That's it? Here in Tennessee, we can get upwards of 180 proof 😂😂😂
I would like to know... Can you feel a buzz from that first raw shot?
We don't get to see GR charming side nearly often enough.
I will stay in my own country, thank you!
Drink that shit Gordon. Cmon. Guy worked his ass off to make it.
I have always thought most Chefs are actually an Alcoholic in reality.
Pretty cool
The translator girl was hot af I can't lie.
True
Hot, but stupid. We can't get everything in life lol
She has bipolar problem
My hot little Asian $I@ve
At 120 proof wouldn't it basically be pure ethanol?
*Gordon Ramsey removes his nose hairs
Probably gave him methanol, ie 'the first bit is the strongest"
I had some 88% rice wine in Cambodia and that sets your innards on fire
Alcohol.. bringing me together for as long as it’s been around!
60% isn't that crazy, there is scotch sold at that abv
Newari aila is somewhere near 80%
My buddies moonshine is regularly 140 proof or higher lol I would like to taste what rice liquor is like at that proof tho
You should try Grand award rum it’s more stronger and the proof is 151 proof
Come down to ketucky I got a few boys in the hill that will hook you up good.
Where? I'm in kentucky and trying to get absolutely plastered
What was that weird cut whole he took a sip?
Is it just me or is she looking at him in a certain way in the beginning?
I just tried Tim smiths shine and was really good ,so I relate to this video
i like Gordon but i HATE how he spits stuff out all the time. be a big man and consume peoples' hard work! Tony Bourdain talked about how he never spit anything out because it's an obvious kind of disrespect, even if it's meant as a laugh.
yeah he worked hard but he made something disgusting

Haha Gordon drunk the heads
not even a sip? common man!
That’s my breakfast..
Bro he didn’t even drink it. It cut before the liquid got to his mouth…
I don’t wanna be the one judgemental but I hope that river is clean when they wash the sticky rice. 😳😩
Just for reference Everclear is 190 proof
I need a bottle...
Lmaoo did he really say that about his own white legs? Hahah
Moonshine
Seavey circle
Sacramento California
Only 120?? “Moonshine”
I've got two bottles of bourbon Stronger than that !! One is a Stagg Jr & the others is a Blantons

I really hope he didn't drink the heads lole
Heads won't hurt you (other then potential hangover). The fore shots contain the potential methanol and that's the stuff that is potentially poisonous
This is Gordon he’s from London
I can hold my own with alcohol but just wanted to die after taking a shot of Spirytus (192 proof). Like my lips were on fire before I could even taste it. Wasn't a pleasant evening.
I'm drankin 128proof
that doesn't look like "downtown Ireland"
Lmao i wonder if he gave gordon the heads of it
Whats her name ??
She took it more like a champ tha. N him 😂
rice and yeast instead of corn and sugar - interesting
rip my organs
Why is there a cut right when he’s drinking it so sus
That women was cute
America makes a 120 proof alcohol, it’s called everclear.
