i go to school with jack, just saying, he is a lot more attractive than this picture. this picture is very unfortunate. but i bet he would like it. and all this about the moonshine….yes, people still make it in the south! sure theyre a little “backwards” by most people’s standards but i say go mountain folk!! who cares if a 19 year old drinks alcohol, we’re in college, thats what we do!

ugh, the “Ashville” in the article is about to drive me crazy. it’s Asheville, and it probably only bothers me because i’m an asheville native. also, my father used to make his own wine and still always has a jar of moonshine in his freezer so possession of moonshine is not really all that shocking in western nc.

the assaulting part really doesn’t count after you are drunk, one really doesn’t greet people nicely after a bit of alcohole..

He looks awfully messed up. I don’t know if they still make moonshine the same way, but the other toxin that can be involved is lead leaching from the equipment in the still - so I would caution against imbibing the stuff unless somebody can comment that the distilling techniques have gotten safer!

What is this 1920? Is prohibition back ? Seriously though the best ’shine is in Louisiana, everyone knows that. They still make it there too.

Once upon a time I was treated to some moonshine by a guy who worked with my ex. He claimed that for $50 he could make you 25L of the stuff. I can’t imagine what anyone would ever do with 25L of moonshine since an inch in a glass was enough to completely destroy me.

ak - poitín has a bit of a kick allright The easiest way to drink it is as “punch”, which is basically a toddy with hot water and some white sugar.

geronimo - my dad used to do the ould home brew in the 80s (there was a recession on you know!). I think it worked better when it was kept in a constant warm area, so there often a blue fish barrell stuck in the corner of our sitting room!

I think moonshine and poitín are illegal to brew traditionally because of the tax thing, but also to legalise brewing of 75% plus proof rocket-fuel could be seen as socially irresponsible.
