The Economist:

"The equivalent of $1 is enough to buy four glasses of illegally brewed chang'aa—and oblivion. Some drink the local special, jet-five, so called because the fermentation of maize and sorghum is sped up with pilfered jet fuel. It can damage the brain. Elsewhere in Nairobi, chang'aa is spiked with embalming fluid from mortuaries.

The name, meaning literally “kill me quick”, is well chosen. This and other methanol-based kickers are sometimes fatal: 10ml of methanol can burn the optic nerve; 30ml can kill. Even without the kicker the brew is impure. The water is filthy with fecal matter. When police recently made some raids, decomposing rats and women's underwear were found in servings of chang'aa. But the price and the potency are more tempting than the heavily taxed bottles of beer that are the staple of richer Kenyans."

What is that you're having, a jack and coke? Martini? Wuss.
