**Legal Issues**

Moonshine is illegal around most of the world. The reason being is the danger involved when producing alcohol. When an individual decides to distil alcohol on one’s property without the proper safety measures it may result in serious health consequences. The risks are such that alcohol has properties of being flammable so even static electricity can basically burn a whole house down. Secondly, if it’s the production of alcohol for sale then, it requires the proper alcohol excise license to be acquired beforehand.

The main reason for moonshine being illegal is that these laws are backed up by huge corporations that produce alcoholic beverages. It’s not such that one person making and selling moonshine would ruin their business, but that the fact that if someone decides to do it on a larger scale may hurt their enterprise.
