Since I was a kid I couldn’t understand why private citizens can’t roll their own moonshine. Strikes me the same as growing your own weed.

I get the taxation/revenue aspect, but in 2026 America who’s going to produce enough liquor to make a difference? Just put sane limits on home production like some states do with weed.

    this isn’t true and I wish the silly urban myth would die already.

    That’s why the Wikipedia article mentions:

    Methanol poisoning most commonly occurs following the drinking of tainted alcoholic beverages made with windshield washer fluid.

    And the linked list of methanol poisoning incidents consists solely of cases where the liquor has been adulterated with methanol and not a single one caused by faulty distillation.
