From Backwoods to Bar Shelves

I am not sure when I had my first taste of moonshine.
Definitely when I was at least in my 20s.
I steered clear of alcohol for the most part 14 to 18 and when I did start drinking, it was mostly rum and cokes.
I really didn’t start drinking other spirits until I was working in a bar. Even then, it was more to see what different liquor tasted like.
