The wine that smells like acetone due to its faulty prepartion Explanation: As per the details available at: 'https://blog.eckraus.com/wine-smells-like-acetone' at times some wines smell like acetone due to their faulty preparation. Acetone as such is generally known as a nail polish remover and a common solvent. Reference: http://blog.eckraus.com/wine-smells-like-acetone |

Cheap whiskey Explanation: I think he's just ironically referring to cheap whiskey here whence the "on the rocks" |

Martini made with cheap gin Explanation: Since olives and a twist are mentioned, this is unlikely to be whisk(e)y. Olives are not generally added to gin on its own, so it sounds more like a martini. |

Reference: poison Reference information: Agree with the comments at the "discussion" section. A couple of references https://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=4198 Accidentally drinking small amounts of acetone/nail polish remover is unlikely to harm you as an adult. However, even small amounts can be dangerous to your child, so it is important to keep this and all household chemicals in a safe place. If the person survives past 48 hours, the chances for recovery are good. http://slu.adam.com/content.aspx?productId=117&pid=1&gid=002... |
