A Depressed Shrink Tries Shrooms

Anything plausibly resembling "I left some fruit in a cabinet" is likely to be barely drinkable by desperate college students (I should know), nevermind better than what you get in a store.

It is true that my direct experience with production of alcohol is with beer, and my experience in the consumption of homemade wine boils down to someone else having made it, but I just looked up some basic recipes and it is, in fact, basically "I left some fruit in a cabinet". Maybe the homemade wine I tasted had a more involved production process, but being familiar with the basic process of fermenting alcohol, I honestly doubt it.

As for quality, The idea that "better than in a store" is a hard bar to clear strikes me as absurd. Whether it's beer or wine, I swear they're putting something in it that leaves you with an unpleasant aftertaste, which homebrew just does not have.

If you want to insist that good beer is somehow easier to make than good wine (I'm far from an expert, but the proposition sounds extremely counter-intuitive to me), we can settle it relatively easy, I'll just make some, and tell you if I liked it.

Ah yes, the great genocide of 1920 -- how could I have forgotten?

Did in fact cause lots of deaths via crime. It didn't escalate to genocide, because they weren't actually stamping out the ownership and production of any and all alcohol. What am I missing?

That barely narrows down the range at all, so I don't think it's a good distinguisher from "roadside trash grass".

I dunno what to tell you man -- that's really all it takes. Start some seeds inside with your tomatoes in ~March, plant them, cull the males then throw a trash bag over the rest for a few hours a day in the fall and you will have pretty decent weed. The trash grass mostly comes from people skipping some of the above steps.
