This is a question Money-saving tips

I'm broke, you're broke, we're all broke. Even the smug guy on the balcony with the croissant hasn't got two AmEx gold cards to rub together these days. Tell everybody your schemes to save cash.

Brew your own alcohol.
Seriously. You can make a half decent table wine with a gallon jug of water, pour a bit out, add two cartons of grape juice in your preferred flavour, a bit of sugar and some yeast.

Stick a baloon over the top with a pinhole in as a carbon dioxide trap (yeast replicates anaerobically).

Leave for 2-3 weeks, bottle and drink.

It does work and I did it for years. 5 litres of drinkable table wine for under a fiver.

I really can't imagine that tasting very nice
sounds very similar to the method prisoners use to make 'hooch' using cartons of orange juice left under a radiator.

It was in the newsletter, where the Fuhrer exhorted all good b3tans to try it
Doesn't necessarily mean that TheManWithThePlan hasn't been inside, but you'll find lots of people know how to make prison hooch

As I have suggested in another thread Shambles,
coprorphagia is definitely a saving situation.

I reckon you've got
a) a 25% chance of brewing grape juice flavoured water
b) a 15% chance of brewing drinkable table wine
c) a 19% chance of brewing a highly toxic liquid that will at best leave you blind.
d) a 41% chance of causing a catastrophic explosion, sending tiny shards of glass flying at transonic speeds through your living room walls.

fuck, are things that bad?

For a given value of "drinkable", you may be right.
Most people would like their wine to be somewhat enjoyable, also.

Not being poisoned, may also be a boon.
