hooch
Illegally distilled spirits
Hooch is informal for cheap or illicit liquor, especially homemade alcohol of questionable quality: They distilled hooch in the back room.
The word often suggests bootleg spirits or prison-made alcohol.
It can refer more loosely to any hard liquor: We brought some hooch to the party.
