proselytizing

[dry land fish]

Ha yes just like prohabition. Boot legging is against the law. We still have them though. If you don't want to drive thirty miles to the liquor store you can hit up a boot legger for a case of some cheap beer or cheap whiskey! Boot leggers are good and bad. They provide people with alchohol on a pinch and usually have pot so you can do a one stop shop deal. Also, they are open on Sundays! Unlike liquor stores that have to close here on God's day. The bad thing is that they don't card and will sell alcohol to anyone who can hand them the money for it. When I was a teen I drank more alcohol than after I turned 21. It was easy to get. One of the arguments that those anti alcohol voters try to use is that teens will drink more if they make it legal. All of us who have bought alcohol from a bootlegger as a teen have told them that it's much easier for a teen to buy it from a bootlegger. They never listen to us because they know how easy it is for kids to get here....they buy from the same bootlegger. That's another thing...preachers and church people will go to a bootlegger to get alcohol because no one will see them and they can pretend they don't do it. If it's legal they will be seen in stores buying it here. We have moon shiners too. I have a family member that was busted over the summer for making moon shine and had a few pot plants. Actually, we have a fifth of moon shine on it's way from WV right now. I don't know if some of you know what moon shine is but it's homemade grain alcohol so you never know what you'll get. It's usually made from corn or potatoes and it's so strong you have to keep it in a glass jar. Usually around 199 proof but the bad side is that it's easy to drink too much and get alcohol poisoning and sometimes it will be a bad batch and might kill you. You really can't tell a bad batch from a good batch until you drink it! It will literally eat it's way through a milk jug. The feeling one gets from it is very euphoric. Not heavy and sloppy like bourbon whiskey and not numb like vodka. It's a big thing in the south. Actually it's just Ethanol and I know a man who converted his car to over to ethanol and raises potatoes to turn into gas for his vehicle. He donated some to our company christmas party and we all got pretty messed up off of it last year.
