Old American slang for cheap, rough moonshine or low-quality homemade liquor — the kind that doesn't just get you drunk but leaves you with a splitting headache and questionable decisions in its wake. Busthead suggests both the intensity of the buzz and the brutal hangover. It's the kind of hooch associated with back-porch jugs, Prohibition-era stills, and folk songs about bad decisions in the backwoods.
They were passing around some homemade busthead at the bonfire and half the group couldn't stand up by ten o'clock.
