Full Throttle-Hlm

tubers on the vine
flourishing in fertile soil
field of potatoes

I swilled vodka made of spuds ~ Absolut
Distilled veggies that were grown as a root
Drank another bottle
Hit the ground full throttle
Grossly soused but I didn't give a hoot

ingested as French fries, potatoes are better for human health

That's hitting home here, there are many spuds grown up here. You'll be hard pressed to find someone around here that hasn't tried the spud vodka.
