“I’ve actually never tasted illegal alcohol. I’ve never had moonshine, white-lighning, or home brew. Friends of mine who have had the stuff claim it’s garbage. It’s sole purpose it to get you drunk. It’s not exactly Chivas Regal or a good micro-brew.”

Moonshine and White Lightning are the same thing. Home brew is beer. I make some pretty fine beer myself and have tasted some pretty fine corn likker.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The generation of Prohibition males all knew how to make moonshine (white lightening) and bathtub gin...Add some fine home made wines and other liquor, only the metro sexuals of the day paid for their liquor in some fancy blind pig..My father, brother and now my son's make their own beer or have at some point in their lives...Daddy also made hard cider in a big jug with a handful of raisins to ferment and a glass thingy that let the gases escape...

My husband use to make his own Kalula. Men know such things by instinct I think...:O) and dad was a policeman, he also had a still on Sugar Island where he and the sheriff of the island made shine... Long after prohibition ended...
