Chinese Hangover

I'm only writing this because I'm at work and I have to be awake right now...

The Chinese are known bootleggers/pirates/desecrators of intellectual property, and at times its great. For example, if I want to have the sensation of owning a Dolce & Gabanna wallet without paying $500, I can thanks to the Chinese. This goes for many types of products - watches, shoes, electronics, etc. But, the Chinese have decided to make fake beers and liquors, which I view as immoral. Any sort of piracy is unethical, but I wouldn't say all of it is immoral. I won't get into my reasoning, but some of it is fueled by the fact that this fake booze gives the worst hangovers.

I feel like I slammed my forehead into a brick wall. There's a ringing sound that is drowning out any other noise that I hear. My stomach is queasy, and I'm afraid to eat anything.

I guess that doesn't sound any different than a domestic hangover. But it's just worse, who knows what I'm really putting into my body with this bootleg alcohol. The Chinese place a lot of stock in a product consumed in public, which is why they want more foreign/expensive drinks. This leads to the production/ my consumption of fake booze. Which has to be poisonous.  No matter how much I smoke and snooze, the feeling persists. I literally want to chop my head off just to get rid of this headache right now.
