You don't hear much about stills being found anymore. First it was moonshine, then pot, now meth. It just keeps getting worse.

"Sippin'" whiskey don't need no grape juice to disguise the bite, cause it ain't got one, but it still kicks like a mule |

' I get no kick from champagne.
Mere alcohol doesnt thrill me at all,
