Alcohol is bad as it is however, mixed with drugs & a mentality that doesn't allow considering others is really a road to no return. Throw in cars & the cycle to self-destruction is complete !

You can buy a full still on ebay for about 7 hundred.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/126378101867 Pay on zip pay and it'll only cost you $40 a month. You can pull out 3 litres of 90% proof which will dilute to about 7 litres at 40% ABV for about $30 + power. - Every single week. How are you going to stop people getting these kits delivered right to the front door - anywhere in the country? Posted by Armchair Critic, Sunday, 12 January 2025 8:52:50 PM

"How are you going to stop people getting these kits delivered right to the front door" I agree AC they should be made pick them up from the Post office! That will teach em' a lesson. Had a neighbour who made their own sprit once. A couple of piss heads, wasn't too bad, but not the real JB or JD stuff.

Hi Paul,
It needs to be aged in oak barrels to get the proper flavor. You can get around this a little by soaking the alcohol in wood chips which are made from used barrels, but no, still not exactly like the real thing. Probably tolerable though if you like a drink and are on a budget. 10 bottles for $30 compared to one bottle for about $50 at the shops. The important thing is to remove the methanol from the first part of your distillation, and to filter the alcohol after you've finished to remove any impurities. The process can be a little time consuming, but not all that difficult. I have a mate who used to by his from a retired ex copper. Posted by Armchair Critic, Monday, 13 January 2025 7:31:15 AM

Many moons ago a work mate made mango wine in a community & it was quite alright. The problem started when a few young blokes made of with the 30 litre bucket full of fermenting fruit.
There were no prizes for guessing who the culprits were after some severe doses of diarrhoea were presented at the M.A.P Posted by Indyvidual, Monday, 13 January 2025 3:05:58 PM

There is no argument that alcohol goes hand in hand with violence, in all societies. Its my understanding that alcohol consumption is extremely high in the NT, and among some Aboriginal communities it would be out of hand. Interesting to know how many DV episodes also involve alcohol.
