Police are now working hard to stop this. They have found secret factories that make these bad drinks. In one place, a factory was hidden where a charcoal plant should have been. These illegal factories mix chemicals to copy famous brands. They even use fake labels to trick people.
A big warning sign is the price. If a drink is much cheaper than usual, it could be fake. For example, the same bottle of gin can be sold for very different prices online. These fake drinks are not only a health risk but also hurt the legal companies and the country’s economy because the criminals don’t pay taxes. The government is warning people to be very careful and only buy drinks if they are sure where they come from. It’s important to check the bottle’s cap, label, and the color of the liquid to stay safe.
