In all actuality, it is the FEDERAL government that has given us the right
to make our own alcoholic beverages.  I do believe a law was passed in
1976-1977 stating that an adult may make up to 40 gallons of wine or 80
gallons of beer per year without license or permit.  Provided that the drink
is not sold or given to minors.
