In my part of the US, bitters are sold in the regular grocery market near the club soda and whatnot.
Classified (I believe) as “non-potable” or something.

Non-beverage alcohol, specifically. Though I don’t think they must be labeled as such.
To get an exemption for this you have to fill out a TTB “Flavor Unfitness Worksheet” in which at least one ingredient must pass a threshold making it unfit for beverage use. Similar to denaturing but with otherwise edible materials.

Nothing that a good shot of expresso can’t fix.

They missed out Turkish coffee, which makes you feel about a foot taller than you normally are, and weirdly frightened by everything.

I was mostly joking. Bitters are sold in supermarkets in the US under the presumption that they are unpalatable on their own. its a weird exception to liquor licensing.

Very few of the Mexicans i’ve known would be offended at being offered coffee.
To Trump I would. I just wouldn’t tell him it was Mexican Coffee until after he downed it all.
