July 14 (UPI) -- Britain's drinks regulator has given retailers three months to halt sales of a Poland-supplied "Cosa Nostra" branded whiskey with a bottle in the shape of a Thompson sub-machine gun, ruling it glorified violent, aggressive, dangerous and illegal behavior, causing serious and widespread offense.
The Portman Group trade body which regulates the alcohol industry issued the Retailer Alert Bulletin as a last resort after Bartox Bartol ignored a request to ensure the whiskey complied with its code on the naming, packaging and promotion of alcoholic drinks, Portman said in a news release Thursday.

Saw this UPI story today. Seems in the UK it's not the content but the bottle that may endanger health.

Does it hold 50 shots, I wonder?

The usual pathetic reaction of little people with too much power and no imagination ........

Kitchen knives have been murder weapons; wonder how long we’ll be able to keep them?

I knew a guy in the Army that cut someone up with a broken bottle once. But.....it wasn't shaped like a machine gun. Maybe if it were shaped like a machine gun his drunken self wouldn't have tried it because it wouldn't have occurred to him to break it for a weapon.

It wouldn't take long to realize you must hold it this way to pour the last of the whiskey out. .....
