Behind the video :
Irish Poitín (Moonshine) was outlawed in the 1600s and recently, legal versions of the drink have come on the market. These vary in strength up to 60%. Illegal Poitín (pronounced Potcheen) could be up to 90% strength and was made using potato skins.
'Poit' is the Irish word for hangover, so 'Poitín' in Irish means 'little hangover'.

[@michaelheffernan2220]

Somewhere in Quebec, there's a French Canadian yelling at their screen "that's not real Poutine!".

[@3kylajsmith]

Lol, not French, but Canadian and I did hear pouting. 😁

[@grainnemckeown1681]

+Michael Heffernan This isn't supposed to be Poutine, it's Poitín which is an Irish drink with an Irish name.

[@3kylajsmith]

+Kyla Smith poutine, autocorrect.

[@liamd01]

+Michael Heffernan they should do a poutine tasting video! Iv had it a few times, its good!

[@TheyCallMeGawd]

Why are all the bitter / rude buzzfeed viewers coming here to complain about EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! Get out of here & leave our amazing Facts team alone

[@jilliandale2631]

isn't facts the Irish version of buzz feed though? like I know what you mean about the people being butt hurt though

[@jilliandale2631]

+ThatAussieGirl oh OK

[@thejakey46]

BuzzFeed is a place for whiny young people to go to in order to make up genders and call everything sexist/racist. Facts is actually a good channel that isn't ruined by politics, it's just good old Irish fun and games ;)

[@Dubstep2471]

[@jhance11]

Valentine Amoretti. Buzzfeed is just A rasist organization anyway. Very bigoted towards Anglo's. So if your A fan tip on out

[@123haninhk]

[@joecollas9942]

123haninhk ya so what. She was a little bitter

[@MySkydawg]

"shall we mix these all together?" "let's do it" ... "oohthere'sareasonthesearen'tmixedtogether" *shudders*

[@unger4132]

"Are you not gonna fill it up?" That's my kinda girl right there.

[@martesdeo]

Real Irish Poitín doesn't come from shops it comes from some farmers still in a jam jar and chance it can cause temporary blindness

[@soccerchamp0511]

Same with moonshine here in the States. Legal "moonshine" has become really popular here in the last few years, but most of it couldn't hold a candle to the real stuff.

[@stizan24]

It only causes blindness if the shiner is an idiot. Pour off the first few jars and your fine.

[@martesdeo]

+stizan24 look mate I don't make the stuff I just drink it

[@stizan24]

I wasn't trying to call you an idiot, just the people that make shine that dont look into it first and cause people to get sick. The only reason it is illigal is because the goverment doesn't get a cut. If it was because it could make you suck then chicken would be illigal.

[@celticdemon23]

yup definitely, my granny used to rub it on her knees to help with her arthritis, now THATS proper poitin.

[@Kasino80]

The girl with the loong red hair almost speaks in tongues after each shot.

[@bvtnFutureCorpse]

"Like the baby Jesus tip-toeing down me throat in a pair of slippers" is my new favorite quote EVER!!! 😂

[@VirgoGoddess90]

"There is a reason they don't mix those together"....I'm in tears laughing

[@alastairward2774]

Is it moonshine if it comes in a properly labeled bottle with taxes paid?

[@TheBlarggle]

+Alastair Ward Pretty sure it's just Everclear if it's legal and has product labels.

[@alastairward2774]

Wait, have I just become one of those people who turn up to watch these videos complaining that this is not what you actually get in my country?

[@TheBlarggle]

Alastair Ward Does it matter?

[@alastairward2774]

+TheBlarggle I don't care when people from other countries complain, so no :)

[@TheGLORY13]

+Alastair Ward Technically....yes. moonshine is just associated (at least in the states) with backhills and illegal to make on your own. But there are legal moonshine stills (the only difference like you said is,taxes are paid and it's "official" but they are both still made the exact same way.

[@spankinrainbows1587]

everytime i see the man in the black leather jacket, i cant get over how flawless his skin is xD

[@laidylegs9637]

The man in leather and the man in the James Dean shirt are always so much fun! I bet they'd be great company for a night out :)

[@FunSizeSpamberguesa]

"One shot each until the first person...dies."

[@ironicugandan5826]

I have a few suggestions for reactions: 1:Carolina Reaper peppers 2: Surströmming 3: Spirytus Polish Vodka 192 Proof Please do one of them?

[@101chickendance]

+Robert Reich #1 is pretty evil man

[@ironicugandan5826]

101chickendance​ Oh they all are gonna suck but meh. I just hope they film the people when they open the can for surströmming if they do

[@Cursalock]

They already did a hot pepper episode

[@ironicugandan5826]

Cursalock Comparing peppers to Carolina Reapers is like comparing a wine cooler to a bottle of vodka

[@soleycara3388]

yes!!

[@gordybrown3667]

'we should have a challenge, 1 shot each til the first person dies' most Irish thing I've heard on this channel😂😂😂😂

[@stizan24]

I can't stop watching this! It is incredible. Between the antics of the first couple and the antics of the leather clad gentleman and that adorable blond lass I have watched this like 10 times. I can now understand everything that red haired lady says!

[@ezrasky3761]

"She knows she's there doesn't she?" lol

[@teriyama]

Tis like the baby Jesus tiptoeing down my throat in a pair of slippers. Lol!!!! Love him- so hilarious

What is the name of the guy with the black hair and beard in the leather? he's been consistently entertaining on all of these videos... And that accent....

[@aaronoriain229]

[@DanielWright-vw2yf]

"There's a reason they dont mix those together" 🤣

[@minimooster7258]

Yup, that was 140%, not 50% or so. You may be drunk, but maths is still working.

[@shawnkiller90]

+minimooster fuck 140% get some diesel which is 190% +

[@sydneycousins4900]

140% alcohol? That's impossible. I think youve got it confused with proof. 140 proof is 70%

[@minimooster7258]

+Sydney Cousins I know,I was kidding. When he said that it was 140%, he was just adding the amount of alcohol in each drink, and was also kinda drunk. I was being sarcastic, as you do when you're too hot, feel sick, can't sleep and are tired. Good night.

[@shawnkiller90]

Sydney Cousins www.allstarliquors.net/images/products/diesel_750.jpg this is a weaker version but yet pic shows it is above your " impossible 140"

[@shawnkiller90]

minimooster oh really look at link I put of higher then 140 ... and that is not the highest Diesel makes..but enjoy

[@The-Underbaker]

My friend is from Northern Ireland and when he visited his family he brought back some homemade Poitín from his uncle. I've drank a lot of different whisky/whiskey, vodka and such in my time, but i've never had a drink that affected me as quickly and strongly as that did. It turned me into a mumbling, slurring idiot and it burnt the skin off my lips for the better part of a week! It was worth it though. :)
