Alcohol By Volume - 5.4 We googled "fuerte" and it means "strong".

It's Personal - No points awarded or deducted.

Beer/Sausage/Combo/Factor - 2.25

Gas - 0

Total - 26.01

Head - Negligible. 1.5

Alcohol By Volume - 4.3

Looks - The first clear bottle of the test. Bottle top is a red and white version of Brazil's flag. 1
