The production and sale of moonshine in America was illegal long before the prohibition act of the 1920s. Moonshine production was illegal mostly because of the dangerous ingredients often used in it and because of the federal government's insistence that no untaxed profit be made by its distillers. In Cocktail the author states that "the potent brew was usually made with corn and toxic ingredients &emdash; battery acid and rubbing alcohol &emdash; to speed the fermentation" (Cocktail ). However, after the advent of the Prohibition era, moonshine became widespread in an underground world of the rural South, much as it did in the urban Speakeasies of the 20's and 30's.
Today moonshine is still in production and is still very illegal. Areas of North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia (to name only a few) are the breeding grounds for the moonshine stills of the 90's. North Carolina journalist Martha Quillin says "ALE (Alcohol Law Enforcement) can't estimate how much liquor and brandy is made in Broadslab [a small town in North Carolina] each year, but the area is regarded as the key production site in the South's 'moonshine belt.' In 1995 agents seized a total of 800 gallons during raids in Broadslab: so far this year, 1351 gallons" (Quillin 6).
