An intoxicating drink called “1000’s vodka” has taken 24 percent of the market’s consumption in Mongolia, but organizations and specialists have not studied its contents.... 1000’s vodka is the cheapest vodka and it is prohibited to sell, but the survey result says that small shops and whole trade markets sell it.... The raw material of the 1000’s vodka is imported from China and people are talking about and saying that it is a kind of spirit used for cleaning equipment.

Unsuprisingly, many Mongols swear by it (that vodka, not specifically "1000s," but good vodka, cures many ills).
