precious metals have been added to food and drink for a loooong time. It's just a gimmick though. Just like silver foil on a cake etc. it is not harmful in small doses.

Goldschläger is a Swiss cinnamon schnapps (43.5% alcohol by volume), a clear liqueur with very thin yet visible flakes of gold floating in it. The actual amount of gold is extremely small and serves as a sort of novelty: There is currently less than a tenth of a gram (0.1 g) of gold flakes in a 750 mL bottle of Goldschläger, which as of August 18, 2006, amounts to less than 2.99 on the international gold market. Goldschläger is a product of Italy and imported by Paddington LTD. of Stamford, CT.
A few years after its introduction, Goldschläger was reformulated to contain less gold due to some alleged accounts of individuals suffering allergic reactions.[1] The human body is not able to digest precious metals. The belief that the gold flakes can cause cuts which would allow the alcohol to enter the blood stream faster is false

It is harmful but it's such a little amount of gold and the alcohol content inside kills off any real danger.

Gimmick!
It comes out the same way it goes in...pure gold flake. Your body doesn't digest it at all.

yes, it's just for show because harmful or not, it doesn't add anything to the taste. i guess the point is to show that you don't care about frittering away your hard-earned gold, sort of like having money to burn.
