You could put the shoe polish on one side of a piece of bread and soak the alcohol out on the other side.

if im not m,istaken...wasn't they using a method to get alcohol out of shoe polish which came in cans? ther was a old man down the street from me who played this kind of blues and he said when prohibition was going on and poor people who couldn't afford moonshine was finding ways to get alcohol out of shoe polish cans and drinking it!!

I guess they didn't have those helpful public service announcements back then. Like, "don't drink cooking fuel". Christ, can you imagine that BRUTAL hangover? All this is making me want a drink...
