Sounds like something the moonshiners in the mountains back east used to refer to as White Lightning, and I doubt they rubbed it on..... also kind of subject to the law under the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agency in our fed govt. I always thought that was a bizarre combination of regulatory issues under one hat.

If we had ATF in Ireland they would have a hard time trying to find any it's not made that much any more and it's something like 95% proof so I can't imagine why anyone would want it. I guess it's more like very strong Vodka or moonshine, it's made from potatoes as that's all the Irish had in the 1800's before the famine. You can buy a touristy version but that's not real Poitín.

I thought that was beautiful.

hmmmm...

Well Joan, I have had a lot of friends who, during the course of my pain have suggested..... well have you thought of taking up drinking? I had not given that a thought....... Hmmmmmm. That wrath of grapes, wheat, barley, sugarcane, potatoes, rice, and all of the other things I have seen [even some on TV where these folk sit around and chew some food item and collect the sputum as a concoction that ferments into a beverage of some sort] have not been all that tempting to me. I do like a good glass of water..... even a half cola half lemonade [call that a Mark56 for a laugh]. Sometimes coffee, flavored right...... So that is how I arrived at the conclusion I am a drinking dweeb.

Now WHY in world did he put it in a Vodka bottle! He shoulda put it in a SODA can so nobody would suspect anything!

You could hide it in a spitoon, but then maybe those people Mark hangs out with might find it. Or you could just hide in my refrigerator--I'd never notice it behind everything else in there that I never notice either. Probably the safest place in the world.

My brother used to hide certain 'medicinal' items in a LIMA BEAN bag in the back of the freezer! Now WHO would EVER find that!

'Cause every brother knows most of the universe hates Lima Beans...... bleah [I will not use the vomit icon].

I had forgoten the misuse of soda cans from my younger days. The newer clear bottles would not do at all! Of course mayhaps my diet dew bottles would suffice!
