Too bad Popcorn Sutton didn’t live to see the day he could make a little profit for his medicine instead of being persecuted. Our government at its finest, a day late and a dollar short!
Daddy and his best friend were bad about making shine, until the revenuers shut them down. I understand that it’s legal now, for your own consumption, but whiskey is cheap enough that I don’t have to resurrect the old man’s recipe.
Wasn’t Sutton a North Carolina man? Distilling has been illegal there since before the first Revolution. Striking down federal statutes is fine, but, like so many other long-running battles, it’s state by state.

Could I get you to send me a Mason jar or two of the stuff? I could send you Gino’s pizzas, cheese-spinach puffs, or gyros, in return.

Unfortunately, it is unlawful to mail booze in my state. We’re working on changing that.

Pity. There was a Supreme Court case about it too, as I recall.
In any case, my side of the offer is open. Chicago is the place for Greek specialties and pizza.

Moonshine stills are now to become “craft distilleries”. So, what would be the euphemism for a brothel? Artisan sex boutique?
