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.


That’s why the Wikipedia article mentions:
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.
