Objectives: In the past, some moonshine products contained potentially toxic contaminants. Although moonshine production continues in the United States, no studies have analyzed the content of moonshine since the early 1960s. We hypothesize that moonshine continues to contain potentially toxic concentrations of contaminants. Methods: Forty‐eight samples of illicitly distilled moonshine were obtained from law enforcement agencies. An independent laboratory, blinded to both the moonshine source…

The Threat to Quality of Alcoholic Beverages by Unrecorded Consumption
Unrecorded consumption, quality of alcohol and health consequences.
TLDR
A feasible approach for new research on the effects of un recorded alcohol could be based on a representative sample from low socioeconomic regions with high prevalence of unrecorded consumption.
Analysis of Methanol in the Presence of Ethanol, Using a Hybrid Capillary Electrophoresis Device with Electrochemical Derivatization and Conductivity Detection.
TLDR
A hybrid electrophoresis device with electrochemical preprocessing and contactless conductivity detection (hybrid EC-CE-C4D) is described, applied to perform the electro-oxidation of primary alcohols, followed by the separation and detection of the respective carboxylates.
Heavy metal poisoning: management of intoxication and antidotes.
TLDR
For some metals there are no physiological concentrations that are beneficial; as such these metals only have the potential to cause toxicity.
A systematic review of the epidemiology of unrecorded alcohol consumption and the chemical composition of unrecorded alcohol.
TLDR
Very large amounts of alcohol are produced globally that go unrecorded, and the primary harm from this kind of alcohol arises from the fact that it is typically much cheaper than licit alcohol, which may contribute to higher rates of chronic and irregular heavy drinking.
Lead induced encephalopathy: an overview
Surrogate Alcohol or Nonbeverage Alcohol Consumption: The Surrogate Alcohol Questionnaire (SAQ).
Toxic Alcohol Poisoning
Toxic Alcohols.
TLDR
The importance of an anion gap metabolic acidosis in relation to toxic alcohols is reviewed and both the utility and the limitations of the osmole gap in patient management are explored.

Trace element content of moonshine.
TLDR
Although a number of elements were not found in significant quantities to be considered harmful, four elements were present in potentially toxic concentrations and the possible implications and sources of the contamination are discussed.
Elevated blood lead levels in urban moonshine drinkers.
TLDR
Emergency physicians should consider screening to determine the prevalence of moonshine consumption in their practice settings, as well as the possibility of lead intoxication among patients with suggestive symptoms.
Elevated blood lead levels associated with illegally distilled alcohol.
TLDR
This investigation emphasizes the adverse health effects and ongoing public health impact of moonshine ingestion and reviewed medical and laboratory records from the hospital, interviewed patients with elevated blood lead levels, and determined the lead content of Moonshine samples.
Illicit Alcohol (Moonshine) Consumption in West Alabama Revisited
TLDR
A declining, yet continuing, presence of moonshine-related lead intoxication still exists in west Alabama, and the current at-risk patients may continue to be middleaged to elderly men from rural settings.

The use of automobile radiators containing lead-soldered parts in the illicit distillation of alcohol (i.e., "moonshine") is an important source of lead poisoning among persons in some rural Alabama…
Evaluation of lead, zinc, and copper excretion in chronic moonshine drinkers.
TLDR
Of the various routine and inexpensive tests widely used in the detection of an increased body lead load, only urinary lead excretion after EDTA mobilization was a sensitive indicator of excessive body burden, though a reference value of 650 micrograms urine leadexcretion per 24 hours may have excluded some patients with increased lead loads.
Moonshine and lead. Relationship to the pathogenesis of hyperuricemia in gout.
TLDR
Factors other than lead nephropathy, such as obesity, ethanol consumption, hypertension, and hereditary factors, are responsible for the decreased urate clearance observed in over 70% of gout patients, many of whom give a history of moonshine ingestion.
Evaluation of Lead, Zinc, and Copper Excretion in Chronic Moonshine Drinkers
TLDR
Of these tests, only urinary lead excretion after EDTA mobilization was a sensitive indicator of excessive body burden, though a reference value of 650 μg urinelead excretion per 24 hours may have excluded some patients with increased lead loads.
Moonshine, lead poisoning, and pragmatism.
TLDR
During my residency from 1964 to 1966 at University Hospital in Birmingham, Ala, the authors saw a steady stream of patients admitted for moonshine-induced lead poisoning, both at UH and at the affiliated Veterans Administration Hospital (BVAH).
Moonshine-related arsenic poisoning.
TLDR
Although arsenic poisoning occurs relatively infrequently, contaminated moonshine may be an important cause of the poisoning in some areas of the country.
