Indian Moonshine Sends You To Heaven for 20 Cents
Fratboys don’t got shit on Indian peasants. BBC news says 100 are dead from illegal Indian moonshine in Mehmadabad, a semi-industrial suburb in western Gujarat state.
Normally, illegally brewed or “country-made liquor”, as it is called in India, is made with jaggery [unrefined palm sugar], alum and aluminium chloride. After brewing, some flavour is added to the liquor. ...Brewery owners usually spike the liquor with ethyl alcohol to give it a kick. Things begin going wrong when they add methyl alcohol – a potent industrial alcohol- which can easily lead to death if consumed. ...
Illegal liquor – commonly called desi daroo or country made liquor in Gujarat – is usually sold in 200ml plastic pouches for 10 rupees (20 cents) each.
