As a matter of fact, I did. I used to keep two gallons of it on hand at all times, and that was the very reason I gave when folks asked about that. I'm still that way to this day, just not so much with moonshine any more since it went designer and got too damned expensive. Back then, I could get it for 20 dollars a gallon, because I had a friend that was making it, so I got his friends and family discount. Nowadays, they have all manner of weird flavors of 'shine, and it goes for sometimes 800 bucks a gallon, which is WAY too much for it.
I have this strange notion that moonshine ought to be moonshine-flavored, or else it's not 'shine.
Now it's usually rum, mostly "raw" and un-spiced, your most basic "white" rum. I take a few daily doses to keep my health up. The goal is to create an environment within my body that no microbe could survive in. So far, it works pretty well.
Alcohol and hot peppers - breakfast of champions!
