Loonshine - Developed nearly three centuries ago by an alcoholic werewolf, Loonshine is lethal for a human to consume but does the job of getting lycans and shifters pleasantly inebriated. Rather than its name being just a play on the popular alcoholic beverage 'moonshine', Loonshine also garners its name from those who drink too much of it losing control of their faculties randomly, causing random bursts of laughter and usually at the worst possible moment. Surprisingly, Loonshine possesses a floral scent and comes out of the bottle as a rather thick silver liquid that has earned its nickname as the Giggle Syrup. It is also, curiously, quite inflammable. Instead, when pressed to flame, Loonshine will bubble and evaporate.
The process of making Loonshine is a closely guarded secret held by the Hair of the Dog Brewing Company. Although rumors, namely from competitors, state that Loonshine is distilled from usually unsavory sources. When pressed to the question, distillers working for the HDBC will merely state "From Syrup!" in increasingly frantic tones. As if they didn't know..

The one question I have regards its lethality to humans, is it toxic like a poison, or is it like a super alcohol where even minuscule amounts are enough to cause acute alcohol poisoning? I could see some people seeking it out, to prove they are stronger than werewolf spirits, or apothecaries offering gold for it because they can water it down, one drop against one hundred of water for a powerful sedative, a werewolf sourced alternative to the milk of the poppy
Excellent question Scras; I would say it is more of the latter where even a tiny amount is capable of causing acute alcohol poisoning. And I do like the idea of people seeking it to water it down to create a sort of painkiller or which can be addictive if done too much. Another side venture for the HDBC to get involved in? A little sidenote explaining this submission; it was proposed as a gag on an rp site I was on. One of the things that bugged me was that normal 'human' alcohol had no effect on Lycans due to their enhanced metabolisms and I thought up Giggle Syrup as the Lycans' answer and need for inebriation.
