Pruno is a kind of "wine" made in prison, usually using ingredients like fruit punch, bread, and ketchup. Moonshine is homemade liquor sold in a mason jar. Sometimes made by using an old car radiator as part of the still. This results in lead and traces of radiator fluid entering the brew. Which do you prefer and why?

Moonshine because its classy :p

Pruno smells like diarrhea.

Don't get me started.

Well done moonshine, on the other hand, can be pretty smooth stuff.

I finally tasted some about a month and a half ago. It was pretty good. Smooth stuff considering it was probably as strong as 151 Rum.

You didn't drink that straight did you?

Someone found out that the thing that makes a good bourbon good is vanillin, the chemical which is used as a vanilla substitute.

It's also a cheap additive for moonshine. A few drops, and even grain alcohol tastes like the finest bourbon.

Yeah. Right out of the jar. Why?

Yeah. Right out of the jar. Why?

just surprised. I haven't met many people who think that stuff goes down smooth. I certainly don't but more power to you.

when I was growing up my family had their own still that they used to make corn wiskey, it was pretty good.

my friend next door micro brews beer in his garage, it's pretty nasty.

we used to make strawberry wine in the summer.....

Cool. So I can buy a little bottle of cheap vanilla extract and switch to cheap liquor?

Well, I'm a pro. Don't try this at home.

Yes. If you like bourbon. You might have to tweak how much you put in, to your taste.

Yeah I do, but I don't buy any of the really fancy boubon. I stick to Jim Beam since the MDM boycott of Jack Daniels.

oh yeah, I had a friend once who made vanilla burbon with Mexican Vanilla, one shot of it just about knocked me down, it had a higher alcohol concentrate than everclear.

You read my mind!

Never had either... but I vote moonshine because I don't think it would have nasty pruno flavor...

Everyone in North Georgia knows either how or who, when it comes to moonshine. A good glass of corn liquor is about as good as booze gets.

And it's the methanol that'll get you, not the lead.

Pruno. cuz imma gansta.
