I guess only the drunks in Vallejo get to drink this stuff.
Eons ago, I used to keep a bottle of 120 (or so) Stoli in the freezer. It won't freeze.
Then we'd take QUICK shots of the stuff. It won't hit your throat or your esophagus.
But watch out, it will get you pretty drunk, pretty fast. Just make sure not to light up a cigar for five minutes after doing two such shots.

I used to do the same with Finnish Koskenkorva Viina either the plain or the liquorice version. Was only 38% alcohol but still didn't freeze in a UK freezer. When my second daughter was born I was introduced to the Finnish way of wetting a babies head. You drink one shot for each of their fingers then one for each of their toes, or until you lose count (which we did).
Tony, you can buy a countertop still from many locations. They’re called water distillers. You’ll note they also mention in fine print they are also used for alcohol. I think they make about 1 litre per day IIRC. Google it.

'And people wonder what the Portugese did for India 😀'
What was that about?
I did not understand.

In India, there was an attachment for making guava jelly or something, a vent on a pressure cooker, attached at the place for the weight or 'whistle'.
Stopped sales when they found it was mainly used to distill home brewed.
And some people tried to do it with denatured spirits, which is ethyl alcohol, with methyl added to make it unfit for human use. Some people had problems with that stuff, dangerous.
If you have sunlight, a solar still will work, look for wine to brandy converters, after all brandy is distilled wine.

For less than what I get paid for a single inspection, I can buy an automated, large countertop distillation unit capable of making 10 times the amount of alcohol I could drink in a day. Not sure what you are able to Google where you are Naresh but there is no shortage of them here.
Portugal and Índia? How about Goa? My SIL, nee: DeSouza lived there until 1972 when her family emigrated to Canada after India reclaimed the territory a decade earlier.

I do not drink, and my state has Prohibition.
So the production at home of distilled product is of little interest to me.

After 10 years aboard a yacht, small islands are the last thing I'd want. I just took up astrophotography, with Bortle 2 I should get some fantastic shots here.
I eat what's available and the supermarket only has finely ground wheat flour. I do always get a few loaves of whole wheat bread when shopping, but it's 4x the price of standard white sandwich bread.
When I sailed to New Zealand in 2013 the only fresh vegetables we had after the first week were bean sprouts. There's a plastic hanging gadget you can get that works really well for sprouting them.
For functional fibre I find little beats Okra. It might be warm enough to grow that in your garden.
Oats would works as well, but greens are better, more nutritious.
His location is 2165 ft. altitude, 23.0 / 7.6 Celsius mean temperatures, so English vegetable crops may be suggested...or those that thrive in such temperatures.

I do...spicy deep fried Bhindi at lunch means a trip in the evening, very cleansing.
But he may not be in need, simply drink more water, 2 liters at least daily.
