"Irish People Try ILLEGAL American Alcohol Everclear Moonshine @LeatherJacketGuy #shorts" does what the channel's name suggests: Irish people, an American drink they are trying, and a short to show it. It went up on AreYaHavingThat on September 24, and six days later it is moving much faster than before.

The short was already doing well by its own standards. Then, in a single day, it picked up views at roughly fourteen times its usual pace, which carried it to nearly a million and a half in total. Likes outnumber comments by a wide margin, so viewers are tapping approval far more often than they are talking back.

The drink in the title is Everclear, the American grain spirit known for its strength, sold in a version far stronger than an ordinary whiskey or vodka. The title calls it "ILLEGAL" and files it under moonshine, the old name for unlicensed homemade liquor with deep roots in Appalachia. The handle tagged at the end, @LeatherJacketGuy, is the channel's own.
