If your skin is very sensitive don’t go out in the full moon. Severe moonburns can be fatal.

Another lost domestic art. Sad, aint it?
My great great grandpappy Jedidiah Jackson Navycando should have written a Moonshine for Dummies book.

http://homedistiller.org/methanol.htm:
Will home-distilled alcohol make me go blind ? Not if you’re carefull. This pervasive question is due to moonshine lore, which abounds with myths of blindness, but few actual documented cases. The concern is due to the presence of methanol (wood alcohol), an optic nerve poison, which can be present in small amounts when fermenting grains or fruits high in pectin. This methanol comes off first from the still, so it is easily segregated and discarded. A simple rule of thumb for this is to throw away the first 50 mL (reflux still) you collect (per 20 L mash used), or 100-200 mL from a pot still.

Some folks need to learn how to sip. My Tennessee brother-in-law visited and gave me a quart of moonshine. I'm afraid of drinking it. If I sip it, how do I tell if it's not dangerous? I just stare at the jar, thinking it's nice to be able to use my eyes.

Correction: “Mystery chemical drunk by idiots kills at least 133 in India...”
I’d be willing to bet some money that more people die every year choking on hot dogs, than drinking moonshine.

My grandparents told me it killed a whole lot more people than that over here during Prohibition. Too many rank amateurs in the moonshine business who had no idea what they were doing.
To: Libloather
I once had an interesting conversation with a moonshiner (who looked the part). I asked him what he did about fusel oil, which set him off on a lecture worthy of one of my PhD chemistry professors on all the steps he used to prevent fusel oil contamination. I decided that he knew what he was doing. His moonshine was pretty good.

Sounds like methanol. That stuff killed one of my uncles.
