👉 Moonshine is a term used to describe the practice of making and selling alcoholic beverages using illegal methods, such as using illegal substances or using illegal techniques. Moonshine can take many forms, from simple home-made concoctions to sophisticated industrial processes that involve the use of chemical solvents, kilns, and other machinery. While some moonshiners may claim to be "thirsty" for a certain type of alcohol, it is generally not considered a legitimate business or activity in any legal sense.
