Essentially, a form of moonshine made of local plant life and "usually aged less than one yahren". Judging from the connotations in "The Lost Warrior", with its Western-type setting, this view is consistent with the aired information, although the books provides additional details that are not canonically sourceable. For example, "excessive consumption" of this substance is a "serious medical and social problem in these lonely outposts, though no cure has been found".[1]
