In college, a couple of buddies were really from the true hillbilly part of the region. On Sunday night after returning from home, they brought some homemade moonshine their grandpa had made. I tried it with the warning to sip it, not drink or gulp it. It was extremely smooth, not the least bit burning. Then they had me try some one Everclear. Even a small sip was absolutely horrific. After just about an ounce of the Grandpa Shine, I was plastered. However, in the morning I felt totally fine.
They had a couple of pint-sized bottles and I asked what they were going to use them for. They smiled and said they would offer the girls cokes with about a teaspoon of it in it and the night's outcome was almost always favorable. Who says hillbillies are dumb.
