I think I already understand the point, but how else beside fermentation is one
going to make (ethanol) alcohol? Distillation basically _concentrates_ the
existing alcohol produced by the yeast in the fermentation process. Basically,
distilling alcohol in the US sans the Treasury license is illegal.

Does this also apply to Canada, Lochac, Drachenwald, and other none USA
territories of the SCA?
