Good ouzo is around 40% alcohol by volume and isn't made to be chugged. It's always served with a glass of water for the purpose of mixing; that's what turns it milky-white and helps to release its perfumes better. The key is to keep adding water as you drink to avoid dehydration and other ill effects.
