  • Ugandans are the hardest drinking Africans in the motherland, both in terms of per capita consumption and the hooch they choose to chug. Waregi, or "war gin," is what they call the local moonshine, and it makes the harshest Appalachian rotgut taste like freaking Bailey's.

Because both have a lower boiling point than Ethanol, They're the first product to be come out of the still. Because they smell like paint thinner, it's easy to detect--when all of this is distilled out of the wine, the product will smell like the fruit from which the wine is made, and safe to drink...

      @gab hug They used to do a lot of cool niche stuff like this documentary here. Plus they did a lot of warzone combat journalism. Today vice mostly does just political stuff.

      They still do. The problem is their videos were so successful they started creating some stories out of thin air to keep them going. The Nigerian Animal gangs video for example. And the environmental friendly Brazilian favelas. Still shaking my head on both of those. About half of their videos are the definition of "fake trend stories." The other half are still top notch, though.
