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 is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
