Kilju is the Finnish word for fermented water. It is made of sugar, yeast, and water. Historically, it was called sugar wine.

Kilju is considered to be a low-quality beverage that is consumed mainly for the sake of its alcohol content

wikipedia links to the binge drinking article here lol

It is commonly associated with the punk subculture.

anti-state anarchists working with CIA color revolutions, very sus as we've seen with nazis in Ukraine and ISIS in Syria

The Finnish Alcoholic Beverages Act 1 March 2018 legalized the manufacture of kilju and wine from fruits, berries and other carbohydrate sources, without the pretense of making proper wine.

proletarianization is accelerating to such a degree that people have lost the ability to make fine beverages and now everyone drinks prison wine. Shocking

Distilling the produce into pontikka (moonshine) is however still illegal, and can lead to stiff penalties of up to four years in prison if considerable quantities were to be sold.

Lets goooo Brandon!!!

Due to its low cost, unrefined taste and simple production process, kilju is mostly drunk by low-income people. Alternatively it can be made as a carbonated soft drink when served before the fermentation process is complete. Kilju made this way is high in sugar and carbon dioxide (CO2) content, and has little to no alcohol, being similar to a sweet lemon soda. It is a family tradition to many. The simple production process also makes it accessible to underage drinkers. Cf. sima, commonly seasoned with lemon and unpurified cane sugar, leading to a small beer or a light mead.

can't wait for teens to get delirium tremens because of a bubbly drink

The first commercially produced kilju was introduced in 2022

    If you're really desperate to get drunk, you can make some pretty strong stuff on a college budget but dear god add some juice or something to flavour it
