'''Boomshine''' is an illegal alcoholic drink combining moonshine with dynamite. It is mentioned in the video game [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]. The effects of the explosion can make anyone in range of the drink drunk instantly. In 1984, [[Phil Cassidy]] had a cache of boomshine in a storehouse in [[Little Havana]]. Phil asked [[Vic Vance]] to drive him to the storehouse because of a threat of an attack by the [[Cholos]]. Upon arrival, Phil noticed the door was open. He lifted up the door and was blown back by an explosion. Phil, knowing the volatility of the liquid knew that should it explode, a massive explosion would follow. Vic decided to save the liquor to avoid a large explosion. This cache would later be used by Phil to defend himself and Vic from [[Jerry Martinez]]'s goons. Two years later, Phil would be at his property in [[Little Haiti]] [most likely given to him by Vic as it is owned by Vic in 1984] testing an explosive he wanted to show [[Tommy Vercetti]].

OceanViewHotel-GTAVC-Boomshine

Barrels of Boomshine in the Ocean View Hotel, GTA Vice City.

Boomshine is an highly volatile illegal alcohol in the Grand Theft Auto series. It featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, and on Grand Theft Auto III's Liberty Tree article. Boomshine's fumes itself are apparently enough to make a person drunk. It is a parody of the illegal spirit moonshine, which is also highly volatile.

Description and Appearances In-Game

GTA Vice City Stories

In GTA Vice City Stories, Phil Cassidy had a cache of Boomshine in a storehouse in Little Havana. Phil asked Vic Vance to drive him because of a threat of an attack by the Cholos. Upon arrival, Phil noticed the door was open. He lifted up the door and was blown back by an explosion. Phil, knowing the volatility of the liquid, knew that should the Boomshine get heated up, a massive explosion would follow. Vic decided to save the liquor using a Forklift to avoid a large explosion that would destroy the warehouse. This cache would later be used by Phil to defend himself and Vic from Jerry Martinez's goons.

GTA Vice City

In GTA Vice City, Phil would be at his property in Little Haiti testing an explosive he wanted to show Tommy Vercetti. Phil, in his drunken state, did not take any caution in preventing a possible accident. The result: Phil got his arm blown off. The Boomshine's ambient fumes had given Tommy a drunken haze but he still was able to drive Phil to a hospital. On their way, Phil recollected some war memories during the drive (possibly giving him the idea that he lost his arm in Vietnam). A killer who hated Love Fist also attempted to use it to kill them, only for them to disable it and survive.
