#Beer Wine & Moonshine

[stone-cold-groove]

Title page from a treatise on the preparation of Aqua Vitae or “The Water of Life” (alcohol) - 1525.

[rottenpumpkin13]

What's AGSZC+Turks favorite adult beverage? Feel free to add anyone else!

Angeal: Craft beer.

Kunsel: Whiskey but only if it's stolen from Lazard's private drawer in his office. (He doesn't even like whiskey that much).

Genesis: Bloody Mary/ wine/ Banora White liqueur.

Sephiroth: "I don't drink" -> translation: "alcohol has no effect on me but I'll accept something that tastes nice, perhaps causes a placebo effect and/or would anger professor Hojo if I were seen drinking it."

Reno & Rude: Tequila and they absolutely have drinking matches.

Zack: Drinks beer and wine to appear mature but really honestly is a fan of fruity cocktails.

Rufus: Will drink socially to maintain appearances but isn't a big drinker. Scotch is out of the question because it reminds him of his father.

Tseng: Sake/ white wine.

Cissnei: Straight up moonshine and no one can out-drink her.

Hi, I love your blog! Quick question, I am wondering about communal drinking culture in the USSR, especially right after WWII. Were there bars, pubs, or places where people could drink together? Thank you!

Hi! I know you said a quick question, but it actually lead me down quite a rabbit hole.

Here are some facts.

USSR had rationing system until 1947.

2. Percentage of all vodka / wine / beer sold in public houses (as opposed to shops) 1940: 11 / 21 / n/a 1950: 30 / 36 / 54

3. Beer labels from the 1940s.

4. Photos of cafes from 1947.

5. This photo of a beer cart from 1947.

All in all, I would say that yes, there was a certain number of bars/cafés where you could drink, but they were mostly in big cities and not ubiquitous. Small places where you could get a drink and not much else were called рюмочная (shot-glass-place).

There were kiosks and carts.

There was moonshine.

I imagine that drinking with friends in the kitchen was a much more universal practice than going out.

Drink Cinderella boy headcanons?

OH YOU GOT IT

Buddy: Pretentious lil shit, swears he can out-drink anyone but only ever drank fancy wines before with 3 percent alcohol rate before, has three shots, and is already knocked out cold

Chase: Doesn't drink, or is very lightweight. Has one beer and asks Buddy if he has a boyfriend then sobs his little heart out when he says yes he does (He is dating him.)

Deacon: Have you seen his parents? Lightweight and only actually likes to drink romanticized drinks like a whiskey on the rocks and a glass of rose wine cuz he wants to feel like a book protagonist. BUT he is very good at hiding drunkness and hangovers. Like, suspiciously good.

Grandpa Ralph: Can and will make Moonshine in his bathtub just to spite the-one-who-must-not-be-named. Can outdrink an elephant.

The Elder: Dies after one sip because I put Cyanide in his drink. then dissolved his corpse. Fuck that guy.

[vanillablankcanvas]

Do you have any drunk headcanons for our favorite five brothers and two sisters. I have seen a lot of art where at least one of them was drunk. What do you think?

🍸😈🍹

Let's goooooooooo!!!

John Dory - 🐟��

Beer! ���

When alone he's a sad drunk but when he's around people he is a 'confident' drunk. "Betcha if I jump off that thing I can land in the water!" "John, no!"

Sometimes makes his own 'Moonshine'

Bruce - 💜🥃

Doesn't drink often.

When he does, he gets flirty with his wife but also friendly-flirty with people around him. (Brandy finds it adorable)

"If I wasn't a married man, you would be the future Mrs. Spruce" 🥴

Metropolitan is his favourite go-to drink (The Pop Troll in him likes the sugar and the Heartthrob in him loves that there is Brandy in it 😜)

He gets snacky. Salty snacks. 🥨

Clay - ⛳🍷

Fancy ass snob drinks fine wines. (To Trolls it's 'berry juice's) He likes to go wine tasting. He does the thing with the swish and sniff with the giant glass. 🍷

He claims he only takes tiny sips because he savouring it but the truth is he is an absolute lightweight!

He thinks everything is hilarious. 😂

Floyd - 🔥🍹

Floyd used to PARTY. He would drink whatever he could get his hands on. Given the choice he picks the sweetest fruitiest cocktail available or straight up shots!

He is a flirty drunk 💋

If he had a phone he would absolutely drunk text his ex's!

He can mix drinks himself.

Doesn't drink anymore except like a glass at a wedding or for a toast.

Branch - 🌿🥃

Shots

If he's gonna give in to the peer pressure and get drunk he's gonna do it as quickly and efficiently as possible and get it over with.

He gets honest and clingy.

"Poppy where are you goiiiiiinggg?" "To the bathroom, Branch." "*gasp* Can I come toooooo?" 🥴

Poppy and Viva 🩷🍹(both have the same habits)

The sweetest, fruitiest cocktail they have.

Must have a little umbrella and silly straw.

Everything becomes 10 times funnier and 10 times more fascinating.

They also have no shame when they are drunk flirting with Branch and Clay. 💋

Viva gets dancey 💃🏼

Poppy wanders away 🗺️

hello Omninet! this is your local vodka aunt cousin Slipshod speaking. I've finally finished sorting through the metric fuckton of booze I got sent anonymously (with no help from my squadmates, since K went to go visit Gray and P is... busy), so it's time to break this shit down by the numbers and let y'all know what's all on the table. gonna start with the raw stats, then start getting into the specifics

first: the numbers, i.e. the boring shit

as you all know, the ask specified that there were "approximately 70 crates" of booze, and that's correct. there are indeed 70 crates of assorted alcohol sitting in my corner of the hangar, as you can see behind me. what was not specified was how many bottles constitutes a "crate", and as such, I had to count every single fucking bottle myself. the things I do for you nerds...

if my count is accurate (which it better damn well be, I counted twice just to make sure), there is a grand total of... seven hundred and thirty-six bottles of booze!

now, clearly, whoever sent these did not take into account the very limited space in which my vodka collection is stashed, so there's no way in hell that I'll be able to keep all of this. more details on that coming later; for now, let's break these numbers down into something more tangible

among this batshit insane pile of booze, there are:

19 bottles of gin (K's favorite) - 19 bottles of whiskey (P's favorite) - 7 bottles of tequila - 35 bottles of vodka (now you're talking!) - 9 bottles of rum - 48 bottles of beer (four full 12-pack cases, each case had a different brand) - 24 bottles of mead (two full cases, also 12-packs) - 26 bottles of hard cider (two 12-pack cases, plus a few extra) - 14 bottles of everclear - 6 bottles of absinthe - 16 bottles of assorted coffee liquors - 2 bottles of Jägermeister (where the hell did they find this? I thought this shit was illegal!) - 21 bottles of assorted schnapps - 26 bottles of assorted wine (5 of which aged into vinegar on the way here) - 43 bottles of homebrew mead (all from the same batch, too, from the looks of it) - 25 bottles of homebrew moonshine (or some other kind of illicit grain alcohol) - 12 bottles of sake (full 12-pack case) - 3 bottles of Midori (melon liquor) - 38 bottles of kvass (fermented rye bread drink - less of a true alcohol and more like kombucha) - 27 bottles of perry (pear cider) - 5 bottles of palm wine (wish I was kidding, but it's legit - wonder where they sourced this from?) - 48 bottles of ginger beer (four full 12-pack cases) - 8 bottles of cachaça - 13 bottles of applejack (apple brandy) - 2 bottles of Chambord (raspberry liquor - aka "holy hand grenade" because of the bottle shape) - 1 bottle of Malört (wormwood liquor) - 14 bottles of scotch - 22 bottles of bourbon - 4 bottles of champagne (how did these not explode in transit?) - 36 bottles of "Armory Reserve Black Powder IPA" - 1 bottle of "SSC LUX-Iconic Ambrosia" - 24 bottles of "Northstar Brewing Co. Starseeker Ale" - 12 unlabeled bottles, embossed with the HORUS logo - 11 bottles labeled "KTB Royal Distilleries" - 12 bottles of mead(?) marked "New Levra" (as in Headlock's home planet?) - 20 bottles of grain alcohol labeled "CMC G.W." (as in CORSAIR?)

and, finally, 83 bottles of assorted spirits which were all too spoiled and/or suspicious to merit being drank, and subsequently got dumped. holy fuck this is so much booze.

which brings me to part 2: the weird shit

obviously, there's a lot here to sort through, from various corners of Union space (and probably beyond). gonna use this next section to highlight some of the truly unique stuff in the haul, plus a few of the bottles I've already opened and my opinion of it. enough yapping - let's get into it!

Northstar Brewing Co. Starseeker Ale: not bad! I'm not a beer drinker, but it's an IPS-N product, so I knew it wasn't gonna be awful. this kind of beer is called a red ale (I think), and it's got something vaguely fruity about it under all those hops. solid 5/10; acceptable, but not outstanding

New Levra mead(?): very curious about this one. haven't opened any of it yet - might try to invite Headlock over and see if he knows what this stuff is. looks like mead, smells like the trench. ???/10

Armory Reserve Black Powder IPA: disgusting. I was already convinced those fucks at the Armory have shit taste in booze, but trying this just confirmed it. horribly bitter, almost to the point of tasting burnt. -100/10, would not recommend. (might give a bottle to K and see if she recognizes it at all)

palm wine: apparently this shit dates back to ancient Cradle - I had no idea there were still places in the galaxy that even made this. VERY potent, one sip just about knocked me over. usually I don't recommend diluting booze, but this one might need it. 3/10, way too sweet for my tastes

"CMC G.W." grain alcohol: didn't know CORSAIR had an illicit moonshine rig hidden on the Requiem, but hey, I ain't judging. tried a sip of this and damn near spit it out; tastes like everclear with an unpleasant motor oil tinge. definitely using this as a mixer in the future, wouldn't dare drink it straight again. 1/10, no offense to anyone at CMC

Nemiroff Honey-Pepper Vodka: this was one of those 35 vodka bottles I mentioned up top. for those not already aware, I am a collector of strange and unusual vodka flavors, so to see such a wide variety (as well as a few bottles of the good stuff) made me very happy. this one caught my eye right away, on account of the tar-like color. my review? smells like a Trunk Security officer's boot, tastes like getting smacked by a charged D/D 288, burns like licking a nuclear reactor mid-meltdown. 6/10, might not be a bad mixer if I can find something to cut the burn & bring out the honey

mystery homebrew mead: I do like a good mead, so seeing this in the mix intrigued me. this one is heavy on the honey taste, but there's something about it I can't quite place. something... spiced? in the same camp as cinnamon or nutmeg. we'll see if this knocks me on my ass later, only had half a bottle (they used beer bottles, not wine bottles; calm down) to be safe. 8/10, good shit!

right... now that I'm sufficiently buzzed, we can get back to what I mentioned earlier - as was stated, this is WAY too much booze for me to keep in the hangar. so - if any of y'all out there on the Omninet want me to hook you up with something from the stash, shoot me an ask and lemme know what you want. (not the vodkas, though - I'm keeping all of those. might put a limit on the whiskey and gin, too, since I know P and K like those)

You were all sitting around the bonfire.

It was a nice spring evening and the fire kept everyone comfortably warm. The alcohol did, too. The men drank their beers, the women sipped their wines and Daryl chugged his moonshine.

That got him some looks, but he couldn't help it. He'd down an entire jar and only feel a bit of a buzz for five minutes before it was out of his system again.

One less nice thing about being a werewolf, they couldn't get drunk. But you personally didn't mind your lover being unable to since you weren't a drinker either and you'd at least have someone to talk to later.

You were roasting a potato over the edge of the fire when one of the ladies came over with a cup of red wine, offering it to you. With this being a party you accepted the cup witg a friendly smile, deciding to just nurse it all evening so they wouldn't ask again.

You raised the cup to your lips when Daryl spoke up. "Ya shouldn't be drinkin' tha'." He put his hand on your arm to stop it from raising further. He was clear headed right now.

You gave him a judgemental look, offended by the fact that he wouldn't even let you drink one cup at a special occasion. "Daryl, I'm not downing one after another. I'll keep this one til I got to bed." You spoke in annoyance.

"I said yer not drinkin'." His voice raised and his grip on your arm tightened. He never treated you like this. Did the alcohol affect him after all? "Why are you making such a big deal of one cup of wine, Daryl?" You tried to pry your arm out of his grasp but you were no match for his strength.

"I ain't lettin' ya drink cuz it's bad fer the baby!" He snapped, growling it out loud enough for a blanket of silence to fall over the group.

"There. Happy now? Wanted ta tell ya in private later." You stared at him, eyes wide ans brimmed with tears and just. Sat there, before you jumped him, dropping the cup and taking Daryl to the ground with you.

Your face buried in the crook of his neck as your arms snuck around him. Fuck his dislike of public displays of affection. You kissed him deeply, pouring all your love into it when his arms came to rest around you too.

As you two laid there in the grass, whistles and cheers filled the air, congratulations going around at the announcement.

That was one way to find out.

[curioscurio]

The Fellowship based on their alcohol preferences:

Frodo: a wine man no question. him and bilbo are constantly being annoying about the delicate aftertones and nutty aromas of wine and whatnot. They really do have excellent taste though, and Gandalf's go-to Yuletide gift is a bottle of Hobbit Wine. Despite how he looks, Frodo isn't a lightweight, and will happily drink whatevers on tap if the wine isn't to his liking.

Sam: He's a fan of a stout ale and local brews. Most wine is too dry and sweet for him, though he'll have a glass if Frodo asks him to try it because he wants Sam's valued opinion. Also not a lightweight and handles his alcohol better than Frodo. Unfortunately has a habit of drinking whatever someone hands him as the night goes on and Merry and Pippin love to see how drunk they can get him.

Merry: Loves fruity and refreshing cocktails. Likes to get fancy with it. Probably would LOVE an espresso martini. Drinks that high quality Brandybuck distilled spirits and has spent a LOT of time researching fancy drinks and how to make them. Probably bartends occasionally and likes to show off. Alcohol Nerd. Get him drunk enough and he'll start infodumping about the difference between Shire-grown Old Toby and the stuff that grows all over Gondor.

Pippin: GARBAGE TASTE. he has college student alcohol preferences. like the guy is a Took so he can hold his liquor well but often overdoes it. vodka and fruity soda white girl wasted bull shit. He sometimes just mixes random shit with alcohol and calls it a day which infuriates Merry to no end. Someone once saw him mix together unsteeped tea, tomato juice, 4 warm olives from his pocket, and bud light. Calls it Pippin's Surprise as the olives get substituted with whatever he has in his pockets at the moment (that's what makes it a surprise). He has a tendency to get cut off and then steals other people's drinks when they're not looking. He is the one who wanderers off.

Gandalf: The man loves Hobbit Wine. Also mostly a wine guy. It's not that he can't drink, he just has a wizards constitution (lightweight) and doesn't like to get drunk often. He gets pleasantly tipsy on special occasions, though. He also has exquisite taste in fancy liquor even if he doesn't like them. Merry has for sure talked his ear off about different types of alcohol and the drinks they can make; and even though Gandalf pretends to be annoyed by it, he's always listening intently.

Aragorn: Old Fashioned. Whiskey on the rocks. Also really loves a high quality nigori sake. He travels a lot so he has a diverse pallete but forgets the names of certain drinks and spirits so he goes for what he can remember. Only let's himself get proper drunk at celebrations or occasionally by himself when he's brooding. He likes to loiter in bar corners as we know, but he's a really good listener if you give him a chance.

Legolas: In Mirkwood, Legolas has some chronic alcoholic tendencies. Being a prince is stressful and hard, and when you have access to the finest of alcohol you damn well drink it. He's used to fancy and complicated cocktails, (which he and Merry bond over) and thinks beer is piss. Shotguns beer for attention though FOR SURE but then he'll go and raid your parents expensive whiskey cabinet or something. His dad was the kind of guy to let him drink wine with dinner when he was young. Absolutely will drink you under the table. Forgets you at the bar for a one night stand.

Gimli: He enjoys the occasional sweet port wine, bourbon whiskey, Dwarven Spirits, and ale. Needless to say, Dwarven Moonshine will end you, though Gimli dislikes the taste (except for root beer flavor). He won't back down from a drinking challenge, as we know, but isn't always very good at them. He didn't like the "frou-frou" cocktails that Legolas drinks for a long time until Merry and Legolas introduced him to a Moscow Mule. A joy to drink with tbh he's the life of the party alongside Merry and Pippin.

Boromir: Doesn't drink because he dislikes the way it makes him feel. Will sip a Coors light at the bar or share a toast with his men. If he does drink, he drinks to forget. Usually the DD. Alcohol sparks his temper easily, so he avoids the flames as much as possible. He has a great time going out with the Fellowship though, and is basically the Mom friend. He makes all the Hobbits drink water and makes sure Aragorn has some food in him, and that Legolas has all his clothes on, and that Gimli is still breathing. Occasionally he has to go find Gandalf, who is in the basement, cleaning 5 bitter Rhorrim out of their entire stock of imported Hobbit pipeweed from a game of cards.

Kitchen Witchery: Cocktail Magic

It's that season when I find myself in Drinking Situations. Between Thanksgiving gatherings, Christmas parties, beat the blues days with friends, and the Winter Solstice, late fall and winter are prime times for a little beverage. Whether you're spiking your hot cocoa or crafting a special cocktail, there's an opportunity for magic.

First, the basics.

Alcohol Correspondences

Yeah, yeah, I'm not a big fan of correspondence lists. I know. But as I was making my own correspondence list for spirits (the alcoholic kind) earlier this year, I did refer to the good ol' internet for ideas. What I found was... surprisingly sparse? So, here you go. Note that these are my correspondences that correlate to the base ingredients/crafting method of the alcohol, personal associations, and trial and error. Think critically before just writing all this down. If you disagree with something, that's fine! Great, even!

Anyhow:

Whisky. Fire, heat, spirit work (offerings), warming, courage, blessings, deal-making.

Vodka. Courage, cleansing, grounding, absorbing, infusions.

Rum. Love, sweetening, uplifting, lust. (*cough* piracy *cough*)

Tequila. Decisions (good or bad), hard work, celebration, energy.

Gin. Cleansing, clarity, love, prosperity, protection.

Absinthe. Fire, cleansing, warding, spirit work, meditation, relaxation.

Moonshine. Freedom, strength, spirit work, courage, community.

Wine (properties can differ based on color, flavor, etc.). Love, lust, sex, romance, friendship, celebration, stress relief, health, grief.

Beer. Home, family, abundance, prosperity, ancestor work.

Cider. Harvest, abundance, love, friendship, celebration, success.

There are a huge number of alcohol variants in the world, but these are the ones that live in my bar cart most often, so these are the ones I work with frequently.

White Board, TOWL 6 Promo

Focusing on the very bottom right of the board, it says "Refinery" C2H5OH which is a chemical formula for ethyl hydrate or ethanol. The CRM is possibly making ethanol in their refineries, and this is possibly related to the current theories circulating about Pharmakon which can be a "poison or a cure" Ethanol is present in alcoholic drinks (beer, wine, spirits) when diluted. It is used as a topical agent to prevent skin infections, in pharmaceutical preparations (e.g. rubbing compounds, lotions, tonics, colognes), cosmetics, and in perfumes. https://www.dcceew.gov.au/environment/protection/npi/substances/fact-sheets/ethanol-ethyl-alcohol#:~:text=Ethanol%20is%20present%20in%20alcoholic,%2C%20cosmetics%2C%20and%20in%20perfumes.

This prompted me to look up what moonshine is:

The fermentation process used to make moonshine produces alcohol in two forms: methanol and ethanol. Ethanol is the drinkable version. Methanol, known as wood alcohol, is a byproduct that’s toxic when large amounts end up in the finished product.

The distillation process that follows produces concentrated ethanol by boiling the fermented product. The problem moonshiners run into is ethanol has a boiling point of 173.1 degrees Fahrenheit while methanol’s boiling point is 148.5 degrees Fahrenheit. This means methanol evaporates at a faster rate than ethanol and can become concentrated. When done correctly, it only forms in small amounts and is easily separated out and discarded. Without the right equipment, high concentrations of methanol can end up in the drink.

What makes methanol so dangerous is the human body converts it to formaldehyde, an ingredient used to make embalming fluid. The body then converts formaldehyde into formic acid, a material that poisons the body’s cells. In large enough amounts, death is a real possibility. Not surprisingly, most of the dangers of drinking moonshine stem from the amount of methanol that may be present. https://sunshinebehavioralhealth.com/alcohol-addiction/moonshine/ Ok, so back to Pharmakon, the poison or the cure, remember when Beth said "My dad used to say bad moonshine can make you go blind" Also, bad moonshine can basically be formaldehyde, the chemical used in embalming fluid. Remember the funeral home in alone? The dots, they are connecting. I am getting sooo excited.

SOLDIER Vlogging Shenanigans pt. 26

[The camera turns on and it’s Zack visibly trying not to laugh. He’s sitting in a booth in the SOLDIER cafeteria beside Sephiroth, who’s eating lunch]

“Uhh…” Zack laughs nervously, looking at Sephiroth, who’s paused mid-chew to stare directly into the camera. “Angeal likes beer, Genesis is a fan of wine and Sephiroth drinks brandy on occasion…But I have a video saved that will answer this question beautifully.”

[Genesis’s “oh Goddess” is heard in the background as he pipes up]

“Do not show them the birthday vid—”

[Zack ends the video quickly]

-

[The recording cuts to the next video, which starts with an awkwardly-angled camera pointed at a floor littered with confetti and glitter. Loud music is heard blaring all around]

“What the frick frack is that man doing!?” Zack’s voice pipes up. 

[The camera blurs as he violently pans it up. He zooms in on Genesis, who's wearing sunglasses that cover half his face while dumping an XL bottle of liquor into a punch bowl] 

[The camera is turned around and pointed at Angeal, who looks on in horror]

"He's like an alcoholic raccoon."

-

[The video cuts to Angeal two hours later. He's filming himself as the colorful lights flash overhead. Sephiroth is seen behind him heavily dissociating with a drink in hand]

"We're at Lazard's birthday party!" Angeal shouts at the camera. "So this is a perfect opportunity to answer…this…question…"

[His words fade, eyebrows scrunched together as he notices Sephiroth behind him. He zooms in]

"Uh…Seph, buddy, you okay?" 

[There's no response from Sephiroth, who gently sways on his feet and stares straight ahead]

"Are you drunk?" Angeal asks. 

[Nothing. Help him]

"Oh, Gaia, you're drunk as hell." 

-

[The video next cuts to a shaky recording of Sephiroth, who's now passed out on a table, and Genesis sitting beside him gently cradling a bottle of whiskey like a baby]

[The camera points to Angeal, who's drinking something from a silly straw and watching Kunsel perform a karaoke rendition of Eye of The Tiger]

[The camera shakes as it pans to Sephiroth, who has fallen out of his seat]

[The camera pans to Angeal, who slams his drink down on the table and drunkenly tries to get up] 

"I'm feeling bold! I'm gonna go find you guys a mother! Oh! There's a pretty girl! 

[Zack films in utter amazement as Angeal stumbles off toward Director Lazard]

[The camera veers back quickly to Sephiroth, whose head pops up, hair disheveled, drool grazing his chin] 

"Did somebody say mother?" 

[Zack pans to Genesis, who's sunglasses are askew on his face] 

"Goddess in infinite is the mystery of the gift…" He slurs. "We take it to the sky and seek it in eternal slumber." 

[Zack turns the camera around and points it back to himself] 

"Well now we know why moonshine is illegal."

[He ends the video]

I have a new child! They just keep happening, HELP-

This is Ginger Sunweaver, my gnome cleric for a Pathfinder campaign I just joined!

She's a happy-go-lucky little gal, whose passions in life are adventure and alcohol. She's a cleric sworn to the service of Cayden Cailean, the "Accidental God", patron of beer, wine, adventure and freedom. Her goals in life are to taste every alcohol in the known world, and to free every imprisoned person/creature/entity she meets.

Her favored weapon is her tankard, which was a gift from the dwarven priest who introduced her to his faith. The runes on it read "Souvenir of Cloudspire". She is more of a healer and support than a fighter, but she will not hesitate to bonk you on the head with her Holy Tankard if you're being a dick.

She has a Shetland pony called Moonshine.

[imadecoy666]

so the haul... I kinda went a bit overboard considering I just had a king can of cider and some vodka and went "hm, maybe I should buy another cider" but instead I have

- 2 king can sized cans of 7% pear cider

- over half a mickey of 50% vodka

- two moonshine shooters (they taste like apple pie it's the damnedest thing)

- a beer bottle sized bottle of 12% wine

(for reference if I'm drinking I usually just go for some of a mickey of vodka and maaaybe a cider lol)

I'm gonna make a post like the other day after this one, but yeah.. should be fun :)

[harveythewendigo]

So I'm going to start by saying what I'm doing is 100% legal and is in no way a crime.

With that being said, I recently watched a video on how to make hooch aka prison wine

and decided to make some myself. pic below

I'm using oranges and cherries for this. I might post a follow up later after a few days.

Again what I'm doing is perfectly legal. I am old enough to drink alcohol and in the US it is perfectly fine to ferment beer and wine.

If I was using a distill to brew moonshine that would be a different story. But I'm not so I'm fine.

[msmc-796-official]

[Brigand}- 'Ello, 'ello. A pleasure to finally meet Slipshod. I've recently "opened" a bar, aboard the Demeter's Bounty. Alas my stash of booze is depressingly small, at least as far as a bar is considered. And if you're giving it away free:

I'd take at least one of everything off your hands, in addition to anything you just want to get rid of. Personally enjoy Ginger Beer as well and would love to free up your cargo space. Those Horus bottles are guaranteed to be a good time, and lastly... What sort of Pirate would I be without some RUM.

I gotta dip, responsibility calls,

Brigand, out~

hi again, Brigand!

hoookay, so, uh, slight disclosure - been a bad night for me, I am drinking actively as I type this to help forget about it, so if you're missing a bottle or two of homebrew mead from the case that's my fault and no I'm not sorry about it. I need it more than you; not gonna explain myself, fuck off

okay, that was rude, sorry, here's your booze:
