Packet Alcohol More Abundant Than Water in West Africa

“With distribution networks spanning the entire Mano River Market of Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, and Ivory Coast, their products find their way to even the deepest jungle villages, typically sold at small stands known as hokas, characteristically consisting of an umbrella and collapsible box.  Their products, packaged in small plastic bottles and pouches and referred to generically as ‘packet alcohol,’ are more abundant than purified water in some regions of West Africa, and a single packet costs around 500 Leoneans, or 11 cents. A variety of spirits, many flavored with fruits and herbs, are available, all with their own creative slogans and depictions.”
