Liquor and gold are a heady combination and it is claimed there are health benefits to imbibing the expensive concoction, too.
According to Compendium of Materia Medica, a Chinese medical work by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), gold calms nerves, has a positive effect on bones and treats coldness.
The fashion of drinking gold liquor started in early 2000 in Southeast Asia countries and arrived in China around 2003. The alcoholic beverage is a combination of 0.12-micron pure gold flakes and baijiu, or white liquor.
