    Why is it against the law to make moonshine? - Slate Magazine

    This explainer raises a good point - you can make your own wine and beer, but not moonshine. Apparently it's because liquor is worth more to the government than beer or wine.

    Quoted: Two Georgia men pleaded guilty to charges of operating a moonshine still in the Chattahoochee National Forest. One of the bootleggers faces up to 35 years in prison for his crimes: making the brew, selling it, and not paying taxes on the proceeds.
