[net.legal] Here's the survey License to drink

A license to drink would be unenforceable.  Aside from the
problem of sales of bottled liquor to individuals (how do we stop
me from buying for you?), there is the little problem of everyone
MAKING his own liquor.  (Remember prohibition? There's also
illegal liquor...) One of the easiest
kinds of alcohol to make is "hooch".  Just follow the instructions
for making sourdough in any of many cookbooks.  The liquor that forms
on top of the yeast mixture is "hooch"; it is nicely alcoholic and
tastes awful.  But then, frankly, most hard liquor is not purchased
for its taste, but for what it does.
