I dont like the way people are ganging up on our reliable and dependable 'apio' that for many decades, has been a source of comfort and relief to the majority of the suffering masses of Ghanaians.

I pledge to to come up with a more favorable article on the subject of akpeteshie in a couple of days. And just in case anybody wants to know, NO! I dont drink the stuff myself but I believe that a well-managed and marketed akpeteshie can reap millions of dollars for mother Ghana.

Mr. Writer get it clear not everybody drinks Akpeteshie in Ghana. More so if you have a taste for the drink and think you could use this platform to promote it forget it. THIS DRINK IS A KILLER. I know people who died drinking it and died after drinking it. SO get off. AKpeteshie is a killer and poisonous to the body.

Akpeteshie is not good, especially if drunk habitually. I know countless habitual drinkers of the stuff who have died.

THIS PURE AFRICAN DRINK FREE FROM ALL FOREIGN CHEMICALS,WHICH ARE THE MAJOR CAUSES OF IMPOTENCE IN GHANA. AKPETESHIE IS GOOD TO THE EXTENT THAT SOME MOSLEMS EVEN TAKES IT SECRETLY. I WILL ENCOURAGE ALL GHANAINS ESPECIALLY OUR FELLOW MOSLEMS TO FEEL FREE, FEEL AT HOME AND TAKE OUR JOY INSPIRING DRINKS. IT IS EVEN THE MAJOR DRINK OUR FAKE AND GOOD FOR NOTHING ARCBISHOPS AND PASTORS TAKE BEFORE GOING TO THE PLATFORMS IN THEIR SHRINES TO MAKE ALL SORT OF STUPID AND NON SENSE NOISES AND BEG FOR MONEY SINCE GOING THERE WITHOUT THE INFLUENCE OF AKPETESHIE WILL RENDER THEIR ATTEMPT UNSUCCESSFUL. AKPETESHIE ALL THE WAY, TORGBUI ALL THE WAY

Yes, I'm looking at it from a whole different angle. It is not to encourage drinking but innovation and class, but I really admire their move. We have good things in Africa. All it takes is a little innovation in measurement, logistics, and cleanliness, and we would be ready for global acceptance.

Ewes are well noted for taking this destructive drink in large quantities. Now that a little value has been added to it, oooooh these people will drink their brainless heads off. I don't know why they are so primitive.

"In Ghana, everybody drinks it," Evans Narh Tekper, a palm wine tapper in the rural Ghanaian town of Koforidua, said in the local Akan language. "The akpeteshie goes round."

Those who dont know thinks Apio is worse, but the best of all drinks. Drink, abuse it and you will die b4 Apio. Mix and match with best herbs- mahogani, ginger, esoro wisa and some good food. Hmm, I miss my local gin.

Considering the deadly and damaging posten potency of Akpeteshie, I think the medicinal value and health impact of the drink needs to be researched so that the contents can be improved positively to rebrand the drink.
The drink will have an enormous potential within the West African and East African Markets if it is improved and most of its negative health impact addressed.
What is lacking in Africa is the absence of the CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT CULTURE IN WHATEVER WE DO.

It's so foolish to say in Ghana, everybody drinks it. Perhaps, those who drink it think they are drinking water and that everyone does it with them. This is the reason they blame their grandmothers when they (the drinkers) are on their way to death. Give it colors, give it sugar, coctail it with honey - it's still Apio. It kills. And what's more, there are no standards for manufacturers to follow.

A panda walks into a Galamaxay bar in Ghana and orders Akperteshie and Plantain chips.. After he eats he stands up stretches and pulls out a gun shooting everyone in the room but the bartender. The panda puts 20 Cedis on the bar and turns to leave. As he walks out the door the bartender asks why the panda shot everyone in Ghana. The panda tells him to look in the encyclopedia. The bartender looks up panda and he reads "Panda: Large black and white mammal native to China. Eats shoots and leaves."!

This gin is made out of a natural alcohol and if well treated will not be harmful as the artificial alcohol imported for the manufacture of assorted gins. Thumps up 'The Republic'
