Reply to comment by snazzynewshoes in TIL about Jamaican Ginger AKA "Jake" which was popular during Prohibition for its high alcohol content. Unfortunately it caused paralysis leading to a distinctive walk called the Jake Walk or the Jake Dance. by HeavyMetalOverbite
The first bit that comes off the still is high in several nasty compounds, notably acetone and methanol. It's fucking nasty.

Methanol however can blind or kill you in only ml amounts.
