Hooch is a slang term for alcoholic drinks, especially homemade or illegally made spirits. The term dates back to the late 19th century and is often associated with the Prohibition era in the United States, when people brewed their own liquor to get around the ban on alcohol. While originally referring to rough or illicit booze, the term has persisted and evolved into casual slang for any kind of alcohol, from craft cocktails to backyard brews.
Today, hooch is used playfully by drinkers, bartenders, and party-goers to describe beverages in a fun, informal, and nostalgic way. You might hear it in conversation, like "Grab some hooch for the barbecue," or see it in social media posts about happy hours or home-brewing adventures.
