Inside Uganda's Moonshine Epidemic

- Ugandans are the hardest drinking Africans in the motherland, both in terms of per capita consumption and the hooch they choose to chug. Waregi, or "war gin," is what they call the local moonshine, and it makes the harshest Appalachian rotgut taste.
This video originally aired on VICE in 2012.

Vice, everyone, releasing old content because they know their old stuff is better..
🤣😂
It is so much better. Vice used to be fucking lit. I think they got bought out by someone which limits what they can do now
Thomas was a beast reporter! Ijs..
Yoooo your profile pic is the same as my home screen
It just depends who is making it like a few weeks ago there was a video about the war in Nagorno Karabakh
The brewer lady is probably the smartest one in the entire village. Keeps quite, doesn’t drink, has a monopoly on a high demand product, uses good ingredients to make it fit for export. Way to go 👌🏼
She does that by keeping the product pure. I don't think she will sell much if even one person dies of her moonshine.
Way to go? Least ethical business ever. I don’t think you should be congratulating her.
@@kareemal-saghir4721 Who are you to judge her? She made a business out of nothing. What would you have done in that situation with all your grand ethical ways smh. The money from that "unethical business" feeds her kids and send them to school. She is only using the cards she's been dealt. And yes, I fucking congratulate her for being so resourceful.
She doesn't drink because she makes it and knows how terrible that stuff is to her body. Yet she distributes it to others in her village.
@@brannonwinchester7054 lol this. She's making a profit from poisoning her entire village. Next thing you know, we'll start praising the local crack dealer for "making a profit from nothing".
Been reposting alot of these...this is from like 8 years ago.
Damn really?
True
I knew I recognized this right away. Gonna have plebs thinking this is current 😩
Sagenerd yk this kid sits alone at the lunch table when he says plebs in 2020 😭😂
@Taeyeon's Boyfriend Vice hipster?
Love how the nerdy white reporter guy shows up to a remote Ugandan village and starts asking about where the Waregi is made and then the local guy just takes him to the distillery down the road, no questions asked.
🤣🤣
Couldn't have said it better myself
We have nothing to hide.😊
Thomas Morton still carrying Vice's dead weight eventhough he got laid off lol
Why thought?
@Paul Hatz that’s what your mother said about you my fine sir!
@@shadid516 hé was too stressed out and made an documentary about Mexican immigrants. That’s why he got fired and now works for foxnews
@@bedrantje oh ok thanks
@@bedrantje fuuuuck not fox :(
The guy in blue asked him the right question and he didn't even expect that, "how do you benefit", dude just indirectly told him i know you're benefiting off us
This is what modern exploitation looks like
@@kbluue how are they being treated unfairly? It’s a damn news story
@@noahhess4955 just wondering if some of the profits generated from the report went to the people, since you're too daft to see the exploitation
@J. Kim there are different kinds of news, those that wants their story told and those that news network wants to tell their story simply to make profit, watched the whole clip and didn't see any of those guys comfortable with camera, they simply wants to drink and party
"Kinda fell bad saying this, but that goat is about to die and that things BALLS ARE ENOURMOUS" Best quote out of the whole video
🤣🤣🤣
Which is why i figured the meat must've stunk of male goat musk.
My grandmother was a brewer and a seller after our granddad died. After educating the 11 children 😁she quit and dedicated her life to church. We have now a phd holder in the family and everyone is doing good with proper degrees. She was the best,
She passes away this july aged 94.RIP

Alcohol is a problem when some are drunk but when the whole community is drunk it's the norm i guess 🤔
Its still a problem
@@ibiza8426 How? The society seems to sputter along...
@@robertmcmanus636 it's still not very good for you ya know? Also Uganda isn't exactly an international superpower, hell even the health minister says its a problem.
@Daniel Amanfo I don't know. It certainly doesn't seem very healthy. But I've seen so much labeling of other's chemical usage and so little introspection on the part of those labeling said usage that I'm very cynical as to the motivations of those who want to tell others how to lead their lives.
@@robertmcmanus636 yeah because giving baby’s and children super strong alcohol is healthy
Uganda actually needs to progress somewhat and being drunk all the time doesn’t help especially when most will die early of heart disease or liver failure
Ugandans when some guy drinks a fifth of Vodka: "lightweight lmfao."
I just drank a fifth a vodka, dare me to drive?
Ugandans: sure
Once a Ugandan asked: *DO U NO DA WAE*
Then you see a Polish man entering with 96% Spirytus while the Nigerians start crying of joy.
They’re all arsenal fans no wonder they drink so much
Lmao
Arsenal have won the most FA Cups in England
Not really, it's mostly either United or the Gunners
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Mitchell Dana yeah I know. But if you carried out a survey, you'll find that out of 10 there will be at most 2 scousers if any.
JAJAJAJAJAJA when he thinks shes gonna give him the cup with alcohol, then he scratches his head to disimulate
Lol I saw dat
P4k? Is that you???
🤣
After we discovered that people were diying and gooing blind we knew this was something we needed to taste for our self's. 😂 LMAO
Exactly.
Gooing???
😂😂😂
Best part 😅
In my head I was like that's something you dont wanna taste
Nobody seems very happy to have this guy in their village asking questions of any sort.
"it's kind of isn't a Vice party until something dies" I chuckled.
imagine if vice posted quality stuff now
Imagine if you knew how to spell 🧐
@@name-ni3jc imagine if you can speak 4 languages, ?
@@helliswar From what I can see, You're not very good at English
Bruh do you not know about the Nagorno Karabakh documentary from like a month ago
@@name-ni3jc Not everyones has English as their mothertounge.
I didn’t realize how hungry I was until I found myself sitting here thinking about how good that goat looked....
Same😂
Your so funny
Thomas cooking his goat skewer, like one of the locals, is why he's awesome.
31:35 it’s such a sad moment. Imagine finding it so unbelievable that someone might want to visit your country and see it. Especially when Jame probably wants is to live in the States
Well it is true he didn't visit out of his own want he did it for work
Homie got groped so many times lol his face was priceless 😂
Ikr 😂😂😂
I ain't even gone lie that looks like fun
I ain't gonna lie ur word's ain't spelled right
@@coolwhip5295 the irony
you stupid jackass
@@coolwhip5295 i ain't gonna lie but neither are yours
That looks like fun??? Living in an impoverished country living unhealthy in the jungle is fun? Ok 👌
I feel like an Irish person and a Ugandan person would get along pretty nicely😂
6:22 now that's a little awkward.
20:25 is worse
@@ivanvincent770 i would say its more funny than awkward
Its so bad 😭
@@yeahokay3806 ik fuck. why not pick Shane smith to do this
I've always loved Thomas as a journalist, so respectful while not condescending ♡
Vice content then: Unique, insightful, intriguing.
Vice content now: Someone got dead-named and cried.
"Why are you drinking?"
"Why are you drinking!!??"
*drinks and screaming*
@@wearenotthasame Drinking, screaming, and tripping over shit
So she's basically making rum. Caribbean style. They learned this from the Spanish I bet. Bananas will make 70-80 proof rum. God I bet it's sweet.
The spanish only colonized a few countries in west africa, Uganda is in central africa
@@nokomokwele6205 Rum/Spain/That's what made me think that. They're basically making rum. Any fruit fermented will make rum or stout wine.
@@JasonRyanWilson ok ya it makes sense
Africa have been making all kinds of alcohol even before colonialists arrived there
@@sekittopeter right? lol people been making alcohol all over the world since the dawn of time
May I ask why this was posted again lol
Probably to change a narrative real quick
Blm over. Back to harrassing minorites
Because it's a story... that's still developing and changing.
So that I can learn how to make moonshine out of bananas now that I’m in quarantine
@@cooldrop02 so post updated version idiot
*Already got hung over just looking at this*
6:20 is so cringe where he thinks she's gonna hand him the cup and he smooths out his hair, ooof
He got ✨R E J E C T E D✨ LOL
When’s do you guys think the last time they washed the “blue” cup?
Yesterday
The amount of alcohol in that cup will kill any bacteria ever lol
Anonymouse 😂😂😂😂
Alcohol is disinfecting it
that cleanliness of the cup is the equivalent of drinking hand sanitizer, probably cleaner than anything you've drank out of
Vice fans don’t just see this as Africa in its whole. We also have integrity , beauty and amazing stuffs , and I think Vice should spot the light on those too

Guy: "waragi weakens the old, but we the Youth no, has less effects"
Few mins later..
Random comment "He's gone"
Why they dont simply grow some of the good herb? Would be a lot healthier
I wouldn't be surprised if its banned or some shit.
@@simonthedigger3490 preety sure they have em in the forest they just may not know what it is yet .
Nice documentary, I am Ugandan 🇺🇬 and I'm glad someone showed the other part of "pearl of Africa "
I thought I was having déjà vu but the comments confirm I’m not
Yo that one young boy was totally slumped over that barrel lol
Not even posting a link to the old video, just completely republishing it and pretending like it's new content.
And?
@@Yamaha350w they should instead produce good new content
@@Yamaha350w "And" it's lazy and dishonest. They could have just posted a link to the original video instead of pretending like this isn't eight year old content.
Don't really see the point of reporting on social issues if you're not going to put them in the proper context
Don’t know how it’s dishonest. Read the description of the video.
@@michael3556 stop crying and go find something else to watch not everybody is a vice hipster and there are plenty of people who have not watched this.
Appreciate these old videos. They were pretty cool.
Nice to see this episode.. again.
Pretty sure this is quite old, but this is definitely VICE’s best work.
Skinny glasses guy is like old in their videos now compared to this way back when.
I guess this is what you call a defeated people, so sad.
AA is for quitters
@Paul Hatz that’s a dumb statement homie I could say the same about Americans and their likes
I'm actually born and raised in Uganda, I know all the places showed in the documentary. But what I know is, people will do anything to find meaning in life and those people you saw found it in the bottles of waragi. Don't criticise they might be happier than we would ever be, happy in their misery because they let go of the worries of this world.
@@gilbertmawejje6097
Your commentary is extremely insightful. Thank you for sharing that, for real. Many pass judgment on others, however they could not withstand the life the ones they judge, have had. This life is hard and that is real. God bless you and your family girl. 🙌
I used to live in Uganda, city Kampala all I can tell you they’re the coolest people I ever saw because 24/7 drunk 🍻
Abdirahman Mahamud 😂😂😂
🤣you can literally drink anywhere
This was filmed just under 10 years ago and no less than half of the people in this video are probably dead
How
@@Randibaaj_sala crime disease starvation take your pick
@@emperorclaudius5499 shut up
My old neighbour was Ugandan and he drank the absolute shit out of some homemade hooch his eyes were always red
guess you know what it was now LMAO
Makes you appreciate the country your watching in...
Unless you’re tuned in from Uganda
This really deserved a warning before the goat scene.. like.. anywhere. If anyone sees this you may want to turn your volume down.
Poor big balls.. I'm glad the village was able to eat that night due to his blessing though.
Uganda is basically African version of Russia
Lmao!
Is that where the Black Russian drink came from?
@Maxim N Damn, you dodged a double bullet!!!
I don't envy you the hangovers from shooting this piece, but appreciate getting a new perspective on places that I've not yet visited.
Me drinking coke and pretending that it's waragi. 😂😂
Lmao the kids are like, "white boy white boy !" 🤣🤣🤣
The community was gathered together for the purpose of the film but presented like it’s a daily norm . Content developers are always exaggerating things
Trueee 🤣
It feels fantastic to just listen to what they are saying and understand it instead of reading the subtitles 😂
Omg I read your before watching that part it’s messed up😂😂
Its funny when u can understand the 2 languages 😂😂😂
Me a Ugandan : 👁️👄👁️
The fact that a re-release of 8 year old footage can get this much attention proves how old vice was better... l00l
That “African version of sorry” is called Parcheesi my guy.
Ludo!
“Do you mind if I kill this real quick” 😂😂
Damn Vice can I have a job to go try this and other countries homemade shine.
Ms. Trouble Harris right lol
Anytime Thomas go to a different country, you know it's gonna be lit.
🇺🇬 🔥!
That dude with the blue shirt smart asf
how
Drinking beer while I watch this....
What a beautiful and stunning land. Great, welcoming people. I wish them peace and prosperity. I'm glad Western ways hasn't _fully_ permeated their lands.
That moment when vice knows their old work was miles ahead of what they do now so they just repost...
14:12 Guy wanted his waragin back.
25:59 when i search on google for currency conversion from shillings to dollars. 10,000 shillings is worth $90 not $5. Is the currency different from what i am searching, or does vice have the conversion wrong?
please convert using ugandan shillings. not Kenyan shillings
“This is good goat”-the guy who wouldn’t eat broccoli 20 years ago
it's insane to think how underdeveloped many countries in Africa are relative to the rest of the world
Unfortunately it's the rest of the world's fault because of colonisation, corruption and exploitation.
Whole hood bout drunk asf😂😂
If anyone wants to know, Uganda actually has been doing A LOT better since this and more importantly within the last 5 years. They’re down like 50 spots in total liters consumed. They’re within 10 spots of the US in the WHO 2016 manifest lol so let that sink in.
Every now and then I forget how detached I am from where food comes from
stop eating hot pockets
20:18 The guy in red took the drunkard in green off 😂😂 dafuk
Who else when they first saw this in their feed was like
“Havent I seen this video before?”
WE KNOW ITS AN REPOST but hell yeah its a good one more of this plz
I understand why he avoided to have "the talk" about money with that guy in a dark blue shirt, but of course they're dying to get a bit of money from it.
I’m pretty sure I watched this during school...
I graduated 3 years ago 😂
This is truly sad. I can only imagine the heartbreak among these people.
At the end of life, what was actually the point? Nothing But they seemed to me
In this episode, Thomas cracks open a cold one with the boys.
watched this nearly a decade ago, thought meh. now all i see is vice exploitation. the guy from 31:10 was right, and only thomas's naive innocence saved that situation. all for a gold vice ring..
There’s a way
yeah that was an awkward moment wasn't?
actually most of it was awkward. the bloody camera guy had more personality than the presenter...
Thank you very much for uploading this interesting documentary!!
That blue plastic cup doesn't half get around! That or the person selling them the richest in country.
seeing random people drinking from the same bottle gave me goosebumps
Alcohol kills any bacteria and infections, its basic knowledge
1:29 his eyes turn brown, liver problem.
This is the vice I subscribed to
Aww i was hoping for another banger from vice about cisgendered hermaphrodite girl gamers who need support from the BLM organization but you gave me this.
haha seriously, I was hoping for that too
Oh Thomas..
“Kind of isnt a Vice party until something dies” damn I been going to the wrong parties then!
$15,000 to anyone who can go to that lady’s house and get me a litter
give me $50,000
How do deliver
This is not reuploading even though it is. its a second channel so they can legally reupload and it on us to watch it again
instead of telling them de wae, these people documentated drinking
The board game they're playing is called Ludo 10:20
Welcome mah brudahs, do you all kno de wae?
@Corey from Corey's World nice dog whistles.
I do not kno de wae
Love that moment where he puts his arm out to take some and has to scratch his ear instead
This is specially serious when you take on account that everybody in Uganda knows kung fu
OMG I rarely see drunk people unless its alcoholic whose homeless and I live in Uganda born and raised
You know Vice, they have actual cities with paved roads, office buildings, and WiFi in Africa. It's not all shanty towns, drugs, and alcohol...
I feel sorry for their wifes... I know exactly how it goes down down there..
16:24 @The guy picking his nose and just staring at the host like you’re next!
Old one, why can't they just start making new content on this level...
If your liquor is stored in gas cans, you know it's gonna FUCK you up. 😂
I am drunk by seeing this video 😌
They drinking straight moonshine like it’s beer
Back when you had proper journalism, now Vice is filled with garbage
This is back when it's 8yrs old reuploaded
