When the last time you saw glass bottles or clay jugs made without a fire or 
saw a still that wasn't stoked by a wood fire?

 I mean, it's been in production more or less since 
 the dawn of history.  Made from fermentation of 
 grains, potatoes, grapes, or just about anything 
 that grows.  Nothing could be more eco-friendly.  
 Nothing at all or nefarious about its production, 
 unless you're with the WCTU.
 
 Matter of fact, one of the very first thru hikers -- 
 a young fella named Eric Ryback -- was briefly 
 detained at shotgun-point by some yokels 
 manning a still, right on the AT.
 
 Young Eric may have been a bit lost at the 
 time.  The trail wasn't very well marked back 
 then.
