It is the favored after dinner drink throughout my extended family, but I've never seen anyone swig it. I've always seen it mixed in a glass with 50% ice water. Usually only one shot, but I have seen my uncles drink two shots if they were really celebrating. It has a great taste just like black licorice and warms the belly real nice. Never saw my dad drink more than one shot in a single evening.
All my uncles agree it is a nice after dinner drink, but not a good drink to party with all evening. Hog Farmer's story explains for me why the warnings when I was young.
