You don't get moonshine at a "roadside stop."


You do if the trucker you'er hitchin' a ride with knows the locals.

Ah so... that's different. Always possible to luck into it.

I've had several friends who were bootleggers, and occasionally took a
taste when offered... more to be polite than anything else. Not-so-good
moonshine tastes like paint thinner mixed with battery acid. Good
moonshine is palatable. Really good moonshine tastes vaguely reminiscent
of Karo syrup, leaves a tingling at the back of the throat (probably a
scorched spot that's instantly anaesthetized).

If it doesn't get you drunk, then why drink it? To fulfill a religious vow?
