Don't drink Poitín if you're a light weight, it'll probably kill you!

Irish illegal drink brewwed in the mountains. One sip and you will feel it travel through your blood stream. Don't mess with this stuff as many people ahve died from it. The stuff they sell legally isn't the real deal. With the real stuff you drink water the next morning and you are not hungover... you are drunk again... Weird...
I had a sip of poteen last night. I was hammered. The next morning I drank some water and I was totally drunk again! Crazy stuff!

Like poutine except made incorrectly with shredded cheese as opposed to cheese curds. It is critical to note that this is to be pronounced with an excessive anglophone accent, Poo-Teen
I could tell they were Americans as they were serving poutene with shredded cheddar cheese. Unacceptable!
