gut rot
Low-quality booze
Gut rot is cheap, low-quality alcohol—the kind that leaves your stomach churning: We drank whatever gut rot they had at the corner store.
The term also describes the unpleasant digestive distress itself, whether from bad booze, questionable food, or illness: That gas station sushi gave me gut rot.
