现在在家自制伏特加或威士忌是合法的！！！

美国一家上诉法院于周五宣布，一项近158年历史的联邦禁令违宪，该禁令禁止在家蒸馏酒精，称其是国会行使税收权力的不必要且不当手段。

位于新奥尔良的美国第五巡回上诉法院裁定，支持非营利组织Hobby Distillers Association及其1300名成员中的四人。

他们辩称，人们应该有自由在家蒸馏烈酒，无论是作为兴趣爱好还是个人消费用途，包括在一个案例中，用于制作苹果派伏特加配方。

该禁令是1868年7月重建时期通过的一项法律的一部分，部分目的是防止逃避酒税，违规者将面临最高五年监禁和1万美元罚款。

三法官小组的撰写意见中，巡回法官Edith Hollan Jones表示，该禁令实际上通过从一开始就阻止蒸馏而减少了税收收入，这与那些规范蒸馏酒制造和标签的法律不同，后者政府可以从中征收税款。

她还表示，按照政府的逻辑，国会几乎可以将任何可能逃避税务人员注意的家庭活动定为犯罪，包括远程工作和家庭式企业。

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING

It is now legal to distill your own vodka or whiskey at home !!!

A U.S. appeals court on Friday declared unconstitutional a nearly 158-year-old federal ban on home distilling, calling it an unnecessary and improper means for ​Congress to exercise its power to tax.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of ‌Appeals in New Orleans ruled in favor of the nonprofit Hobby Distillers Association and four of its 1,300 members.

They argued that people should be free to distill spirits at home, whether as ​a hobby or for personal consumption including, in one instance, to create ​an apple-pie-vodka recipe.

The ban was part of a law passed during ⁠Reconstruction in July 1868, in part to thwart liquor tax evasion, and subjected violators ​to up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Writing for a three-judge panel, ​Circuit Judge Edith Hollan Jones said the ban actually reduced tax revenue by preventing distilling in the first place, unlike laws that regulated the manufacture and labeling of distilled spirits on which ​the government could collect taxes.

She also said that under the government's logic, Congress could ​criminalize virtually any in-home activity that might escape notice from tax collectors, including remote work and ‌home-based ⁠businesses. @WallStreetMav
