Many alcoholic drinks such as beer and wine are legal but why are others, for example, moonshine and home brew illegal? Is it because they are too strong?

Drinking is not per se illegal.
1 Distilling is illegal without permits.
2 homebrew is allowed for ur own consumption.
The first one is because government wants to make sure they get TAXES from alcohol consumption (which represents a lot of money per year) & if people start doing alcohol on their own, they wouldn[t be getting the desired taxes! unless they start extra taxing SUGAR!!!
home brew was illegal too, but somehow people fought for it & got back part of their freedoms! hope the same happens with stills!
Cheers!!!

The reason moonshine is illegal is because the government can not tax it. If you want something similar to moon shine buy Everclear or diesel. Both are grain alcohols with proofs in the 150's. One illegal alcohol is absinthe. It is said to be a sort of hallucinogen, because of the wormwood in the drink.

You can run a car off moonshine, do you really want to drink it?

Moonshine is illegal because the makers of it do not pay taxes on it. Homebrew is perfectly legal & I in fact have a stout brewing at home right now.
If the makers of moonshine got a license & paid taxes it would not be illegal. There r a few brands of moonshine out actually. My brother got one for my dad last Christmas. it even came in a mason jar.
EDIT:
Liquor laws r controlled by local/state government in the US & there r some states that limit the alcohol content that can be sold in that state. I think, & admittedly I may be wrong, it is Mississippi prohibits beer from being of 3.5%ABV. Or is it one of the Carolina.

something they have a very high alcohol content, more than what is legal to buy in a store.
also, because moonshine etc is made in back yards, and they sell it, and make money. the government doesnt like people makin money behind their back when it comes to alcohol.

Yeah I think so because it is a stronger alcohol than the rest and also it is not brewed under certain guidelines so that means it has not past the inspection test.

Moonshine is illegal because if it is not distilled enough, it can kill you.

they're not technically illegal to drink, they're illegal to make without proper licensing.
