TEHRAN (Reuters) - Toxic moonshine killed 13 Iranians and blinded five others in the southern city of Shiraz, state media reported on Saturday.

The official news agency in Iran, where alcohol is banned, said 60 people were taken to hospital after knocking back the deadly homebrew and 20 were still in a critical condition.

State television showed the victims stretched out on hospital beds and rigged up to drips.

A television broadcast reminded viewers alcohol has been outlawed since the 1979 Islamic revolution but it is, however, widely available in Iran, where it is smuggled across the nation's borders.

:smt005 Silly Iranians!

I don't think it was "real" moonshine. It is just what we called it. I think it was like Vodka or whisky or something that she doctored up with honey and spices. I remember it being thick, sweet and sticky (I can hear those thoughts guys, thats not what I meant) and as kids we liked the taste so it wasnt all that strong like real moonshine.
