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 might be interesting.
You can say what “this” is in the post title
I’m guessing it’s justified with the health impacts of having a bunch of new brewers and their friends going blind from mythenol poisoning. Producing moonshine is easy, producing edible moonshine not as much. Could be off base, I mean it’s not illegal for people to grow nightshade either, so either way it’s not a good reason.
Its because distillation can cause massive catastrophic explosions, your totally allowed to make alcohol without a still tho, a license id imagine is easy to obtain, probably a fee and a test
