I think using pure sugar sounds like some sort of prison booze isn't it?

Yeah, basically. It's just gonna be high octane hooch.

Fun fact -- I had a teacher in high school who, as a teenager, had been a civilian POW in the PI under the Japanese. His entire family, being American missionaries, were rounded up. Before the pressure started on the Japanese, they would have access to things like fruit. So his older brother decided to make some hooch with bread and fruit. Gave himself a bladder infection. In a Japanese internment camp. In the Philippines. Ouch.

Oh damn. I was hoping for a more happy result like they had secret stashes of hootch for when things got really bad.

Nope. But they did do things like eat rats, bugs, and such as the Japanese gradually reduced their daily rice allotment.
