Kim Jong Il’s Hennessy Thirst Cost $1 Million Per Year


Kim Jong Il’s Hennessy thirst cost North Korean citizens an average of $1 million per year.

The former dictator was reportedly the largest single client for the Hennessy brand.

The cost of Kim Jong Il’s Hennessy addiction was first reported by online drinks firm 31DOVER.com. The company examined the drinking habits of many world leaders and found that Kim Jong Il’s Hennessy habit was greater than other famed drinkers including Churchill, Thatcher, Blair, and Cameron.

Kim Jong Il was known to purchase Hennessy by the case, which in turn led to him regime becoming the single largest buyer of the famed drink.

The North Korean dictator loved the drink so much that he was often pictured with the beverage alongside his meetings with his top officials and world leaders.

Kim Jong Il would have to personally drink a lot of whiskey to gobble up $1 million annually at $30 to $40 per bottle. Instead, North Korea’s leader would gift the drink to friends and world leaders and present the drink at his own lavish parties.

While most North Koreans are repressed throughout the country, Kim Jong Il and his top officials were known to greatly admire Western civilization for its cars, drinks, and various other pieces of luxury.

The regimes love of Western items was so great that to punish Kim Jong Il the United Nations cut off trade in luxury goods. The United Nations decisions forced the North Korean dictator to purchase luxury items through back channels.

Festive Ways To Celebrate Valentine's Day With Alcohol

By: nicolelb for different solutions

Valentine's Day is rolling around again, and for most of us it's really just an excuse to get half-price candy on the 15th. If you're among those who are counting the hours until you can stock up on boxes of Pot of Gold truffles, then come along and drown your sorrows in one of these Cupid-inspired drinks!

Please drink responsibly and never drink and drive.

1. Candy-Infused Vodka

via Food & Femininity

Why not put that candy to good use and infuse some vodka with your favorite sweets? Try using cinnamon hearts for a flavor-packed drink, or conversation hearts for a sweeter, milder vodka. An easy ratio is 1 ounce of vodka to 2-3 candies, but you can adjust that based on how sweet you want it to be. If you're using higher quality vodka you won't need as much candy as you would for a lower quality vodka. Let the candies dissolve, shaking once an hour, and strain out any sugary sediment before drinking. Make sure that you use a glass jar to infuse your vodka.

2. Fruit-Infused Vodka

via The Kitchn

If you're looking for a lighter flavor but want the satisfaction of infusing your own alcohol, fruit is a great option. Going with the Valentine's Day theme, try using cherries, strawberries, or raspberries. There's no hard and fast rule regarding how much fruit you should use per volume of alcohol, as long as the fruit is completely covered. Again, make sure to infuse your vodka in a glass container.

To be continued....
