What is the “other” in Africa? What they drinking over der
Learned a bit about “other” from a different coolguides post the other day.
Possibly things that are actively fermenting like kumis, kefir, or kombucha
Bless your heart. 🫂
Moonshine. Of the worst kinds, sometimes.
To just name two sources:

Spent a year in the south/south east of Africa, and different variations of fermented maize beer were the most common alcoholic drink among locals.
Thobwa is the Malawian/Zambian version, while umqombothi is the South African one.
I’m trying to figure out what the other is anywhere. My America must be showing, but I can’t think what other could be at all
It depends on how they categorized things. People drink all sorts of fermented fruit and vegetable juices that could loosely be labeled “wine” or “cider”. There’s also a whole bunch of things that could also loosely be called “beer” like shake shake.
