Why stag parties come to Latvia

This little lot -- half a litre of beer, a double vodka and fresh orange juice, and the thick, black, gloopy local speciality balzam -- cost a grand total of just under 5 quid. I don't think you could even get the fresh juice for that much in London.



Apparently, the black balzam was not as bad as it looks. Given that it looked (and smelt) like industrial waste, that's probably a good thing. However, PJ did need to follow each sip with a large gulp of beer. Check out that grimace!
