I have had neither moonshine nor Schnapps. To anyone that has had both, is Schnapps that bad?

 

Schnapps is great if you are a 70 year old man looking for easy drink

Moonshine is great if your like drinking gasoline but don't want to pay the high prices at the pump.

 

She never once looked drunk either, but Daryl did.

 

Yeah that part wasn't realistic. Moonshine is one hell of a drink. For that to be Beth's first time she would have been out of it.

 

Moonshine is like swigging rubbing alcohol and pine needle extract. It is as nasty as it sounds. Schapps isn't that rough by itself but more than a sip or two will make you puke. I'm a red wine or vodka martini drinker but very occasionally I like a fruity mixed drink and peach schapps is good in some of them. Fruity Toads and Sex on the Beach are really good! I had a lemonball peach schnapps concoction that was surprisingly good once.

 

I'm thinking this is exactly why. And the fact that it brought the show's plot to a screeching halt.

 

my first shot ever was tequila and i didn't flinch, i loved it lol. I've only had moonshine once and it was really good i thought...but it was flavored and very smooth, and i sipped it on ice which is probably much different than something made in the back of an old cabin.

 

The junk called schnapps you get in the states is totally different from what you get in Austria or Germany.

 

why does anyone care about your statement? prove to me that Schnapps in the show wasn't imported from Germany to a nice country club?

you didn't answer anyone's question, you just stated a so called fact.

I want to try, moonshine has a higher proof then Pepsi.

wow that is fun

 

Moonshine can taste like paint thinner. I've also had shine that was so smooth, you'd have thought you were drinking water until it set your gut on fire. Schnapps can be anything from garbage to ambrosia. I don't really have a problem with the alcohol (though I did chuckle when he handed her a box filled with enough shine to alcohol poison an entire herd of buffalo).

My big problem was with how she handled it. I've seen only once a person who stated that she wanted to try her first drink of alcohol. This was on our high school senior trip. One wine cooler later and she was plastered. My buddy's wife (who was his girlfriend in high school) would crash our guy nights and match us drink for drink. She was about Beth's size. A couple of hours into the poker tournament, he or I would have to literally carry her up to his room and pour her into bed.

The point is someone her size who had never had alcohol should have been passed out in a puddle of vomit after just what she tried in the beginning, but we're supposed to accept that they continued drinking for hours and she was still sober and capable of deep, meaningful conversation?

 

I thought that too, especially with not a lot of food recently.

 

My apologies good sir, I was in a bad place in my life back then(stubbed my toe really bad, like really flippin bad)

your quote was elegant and thought provoking, well said.

As for the import vs important, it was a simple type mistake.

Wikipedia is wrong, I do have imported peach Schnapps from Germany, I threw it against the ground last night because it wasn't getting me drunk enough to enjoy the episode and also because Daryl did it. don't believe everything you read on the world wide interweb mystery box.

Always,

 

It was probably called "Still" because nothing interesting happened!

 

Properly made moonshine can be very smooth. Otherwise, it absolutely tastes like paint thinner.

 

not smooth enough for a newbie 16 yr old girl to drink it and have little to no reaction.

 

I agree completely with that, RD. I was just commenting on the fact that some folks think all moonshine is nothing more than paint thinner or emergency gas for a car. ;-)
