Is it safe to drink goldschlager?

Well, drinking too much Goldschlager will make you sick, but it has everything to do with the high alcohol content and nothing to do with the gold flakes. Gold is a noble metal, which means it is extremely nonreactive. This means it will pass right through your digestive system without being absorbed whatsoever.
