People just go to the supermarket now for a bottle of spirits. It's easier than seeking a bottle of illegal homemade paint stripper. .

Look at the lads smiling. They're getting the good stuff for Christmas themselves, probably just pouring out the spent wash for RTE.

A better time in Ireland When serious crime was practically non existent. If those guards saw the amount of violent crime today, they would not believe their eyes. Ireland has gone down the swanny sadly.

You don't hear a word about poitin raids any more and it's probably more prevalent now than ever before. Then again, it's not illegal to make poitin, only selling it without paying customs is illegal. The good old days.

Lidl and aldi put paid to poteen making. Why have poteen when you can have putinoff !

[@bradmcmahon3156]

Section 13(1) of the The Intoxicating Liquor Act 1988 says otherwise. Don't get caught :-)

[@bouse23]

They don't care about health, they just want their cut of the action.
