The arguments against home distilling usually fall into the following categories: (1) it’s dangerous to make, (2) it’s deadly to drink, and (3) the government’s wallet will be hurt. However, these arguments for preventing home distilling legalization are completely disputable:

1. Distilling isn’t necessarily any more dangerous than pumping gas at a service station or cooking on a stove top — the same principles apply.
2. Even if home distillers somehow forgot to take out the nasty smelling and awful tasting fore shots they would become drunk and pass out long before they would be able to consume enough methanol to sustain any serious injury.
3. I think the real reason home distillation is illegal is in 2020, state and local governments collected ~$7.5 billion in alcohol taxes. If distilling would be made legal, the argument goes that people would just distill their own spirits at home and would spend less or no money on taxed alcohol. I disagree.

Federal government rules in favor of the people.

A U.S. Appellate Court ended a federal prohibition on distilling hard liquor that stretched all the way back to the Reconstruction era.
