The people here get the sweet nectar from the palm trees - let it ferment for 24 hours and then drink it as wine. A collector will figure out which tree is ripe, take a calabash up in the morning and bring it down full the next day and sell it. It is about the same potency as beer and much cheaper. It is reputedly good for your eyesight and actually tastes pretty good. One of the local councillors told me that it makes you just as happy as drinking expensive champagne.
