                                Despite its wild reputation, traditional moonshine is not pure alcohol; unregulated batches often contain dangerous impurities, with the ABV typically ranging from 40% to 80%, not the mythical 100%. The misconception that moonshine is a pure spirit stems from its high proof, but the reality is far more complex and hazardous.
