Moonshine

Moonshine is an alcoholic drink which is made in people's homes instead of a factory. It is made by mixing sugar, yeast, and water together and then letting it sit and ferment. The fermentation process takes several weeks and during that time the sugar turns into alcohol. Moonshine is usually made with a type of alcohol called ethanol which is very strong, so it can make people feel very drunk if they drink too much.
