Vince Gill was a member of a band called firewater? I did not know that. The things you can learn from a history teacher!!!!

[Dennis Barsten]

Origin:
1820–30; fire + water; probably a translation of an expression in an Algonquian language, as Ojibwa iškote·wa·po·  whiskey (earlier, other distilled liquors), equivalent to iškote·w-,  combining form of iškote·  fire + -a·po·  liquid

Big heap liquid make mind go watery, on fire...

[Zochitl]

Not the answer Dennis. Try again.

[P.A.]

I think it burned their mouths when they drank it.

[Zochitl]

No P.A. It has something to do with the taste.

[redhand]

I was gonna say they dropped some ashes from their peace pipe in it and it caught fire, but if it has something to do with taste, all I got to wonder is when did they taste fire?
