Potato moonshine?
1 Part Alcoholic + 1 Part Alcohol = 1 Lifelong miserable Alcoholic, that had ruined their entire life due to Alcoholism!
Moonshine is the same the world over:
1 find something that you can ferment
2 ferment it
3 distill it
4 drink it
5 try to make sure the authorities don't find it
Err...when I lived in Kentucky I got to know a few of the guys that were into it. They were ALL Irish. And frankly that goes for the founders of all the distilleries there as well.
Trid is right its called Poitín. It used to be illegal but its not now. You can get it as more a collectors item you cant buy it in pubs. I had some and it wasnt very strong and then i had the reall stuff, homemade (the very strong still illegal kind) it near burnt the throat off me.
