What a bunch of idiots, I'm sure they run around cringing and making faces when they drink an IPA too. lthrnck68 you are correct, most people never encounter high proof spirits but a responsible shiner dilutes their product to a drinkable strength (40%), keeping it 75-95.6% (percentage yielded will vary depending on still type used) doesn't serve a purpose for anything other than trying to show you're a tough guy or to expedite your getting effed up. I highly doubt they had high proof spirits on the set, and it brings me back to my original statement, what a bunch of idiots.

Does anyone really watch this crap? Maybe Californians only?

What a bunch of morons.....one would have to be mighty desperate for entertainment to watch this crapola.

People make their own hootch in nearly every country on this planet. In Greece, they make a home brew that will put hair on your chest. In many, many parts of Asia, they make firewater that will put hair on your shmeckel. But only in the United States is moonshine deemed a backwoods, hillbilly ale that is best enjoyed when barefooted, sporting a Fred Flinstone sized big toe and missing teeth. These two guys in the story carried on like like a hole was being burned in their civilized gullets, but no matter which country it is made in, the homemade stuff goes down like White Lightnin'!

We were given a quart of "apple pie" moonshine for Christmas. Only took a 1 teaspoon sip and could feel the warmth of the alcohol instantly:)

Not surprizing at all. Most people encounter something that's usually only 100 proof if that strong. That's 50%. Home brewed or moonshine stright from the still without aging is almost pure alcohol. 90% or better. Unless you're a really serious drinker, that home brewed stuff will definitely hit you hard.

Billy "the gum smacker" Bush has some real good table manners. Did anyone but myself notice this. I've seen hogs make less smacking noises when they eat.

What was so good about that? I've had better shows.
Did I miss something?
