• "Moonshiners" on the Discovery Channel has aired since 2011, depicting the craft of moonshine production in the Appalachian Mountains, leading to confusion about its legality due to the portrayal of potentially illegal activities.
• Mark Ramsay and Digger Manes, known for their traditional moonshine production on the show, run a licensed moonshine business called "Sugarlands Shine," despite the show's portrayal of unlicensed activities.
• Johnny Wayne Griffis, another moonshiner featured on a spin-off, was arrested in 2022 for running an illegal moonshine distillery, highlighting the real legal risks involved in unlicensed moonshine production.
• Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton, a legendary moonshiner from the show's first season, tragically committed suicide to avoid prison after being caught making moonshine illegally, underscoring the severe consequences of illegal distilling.
• Despite the apparent illegal nature of moonshining depicted in the show, cast members like Steven Ray Tickle and Josh Owens have had actual legal troubles unrelated to moonshine production, but their involvement raises questions about the fine line between reality TV and real-life legality.

I like how they load up 5 gallon buckets of shine so easily. They throw the buckets around with ease.
