An analysis of moonshine whiskey samples obtained by University of Virginia researchers shows some samples have enough lead to be toxic to adults who habitually indulge in the illegally brewed liquor.

I periodically partake in un-taxed liquor myself, but I know my sources. Word of advice, place a small amount of your moonshine into a shot glass and set it aflame. If it burns blue, you’re good (minimal impurities); if it burns yellow or orange, toss it out (has some nastiness in it).
