Ever try Potín?

the first and only time i hallucinated from drinking......poitin

i tried it mixed with homemade baileys in the last pub i worked in. i thought i was grand til i stood up and my legs literally went to jelly. i had to sleep it off in the back of a van

a friend drank it one night and got sick into the fireplace you'd want to check out the fireball that engulfed him:D

Once, when I was about 16, my sisters came home from England with litres and litres of Blue Label Smirnoff. My mate and I were told we could have "a little bit" when no one was watching. Being rather sophisticated, I thought, I came up with the idea that he and I would hide ours in a glass of orange juice and slip in some of the Galliano that was in the press and have ourselves Harvey Wallbangers. Score.

We had our Harvey Wallbangers....and went on the fúcking rampage. We got thrown out of a junior disco, fought the bouncers, smashed down a fire exit to get back in, fought the bouncers again inside, got thrown out again, I shifted his girlfriend, he tried in on with my sister (11 years older than him), we got thrown out of my house to sober up, then fell into his mother's much loved rose bushes, wrecking them and destroying ourselves. We were a disgrace.

The next morning, we had hangovers like Ollie Read. The Galliano bottle that was storing the poitín came to be a symbol of fear for me. It took me weeks to go drinking again, weeks I tell ya

once, but i cant reccomend it as i slept with two of my lad mates on the same night i was sooo drunk and morto!

there was a vodka advertised in viz last month that was 88%

It isn't illegal for no reason!

Is the reason just because there is no tax a duty paid on it?
