  • Ugandans are the hardest drinking Africans in the motherland, both in terms of per capita consumption and the hooch they choose to chug. Waregi, or "war gin," is what they call the local moonshine, and it makes the harshest Appalachian rotgut taste like freaking Bailey's.

    Being a Ugandan film maker myself, I appreciate how well you captured the environment. Not to say this represents my regular day, but if I had to do a documentary about alcohol in relation to Uganda, I'd probably not have done as well as you did. That you were able to scout out these environments and capture the raw behavior is amazing. Kudos.
    That being said, we do love a drink in the pearl.

Because they smell like paint thinner, it's easy to detect--when all of this is distilled out of the wine, the product will smell like the fruit from which the wine is made, and safe to drink...

    Geez, dude, you could have brought a couple of alcohol meters or hydrometers with you to measure the alcohol %. they are dirt cheap. I would love to know the strength of these distillates. also, I would love to know the ABV of the Low wines (the juice after initial fermentation before distillation). In fact, it would have been great if you took along someone who knows all about Distilling alcohol for consumption.
