My two cents: As long you serouiously are not ripping people off, and you
know you can get away with it, then I think you'll be fine. Just make sure no
one is around when you are doing it. I would imagine that this law is not
incredibly enforced. I think if you were watering down/diluting your alcohol
that would be different story. Honestly, the only way the state could
prosecute you for marrying alcohol is if they had witnesses, and possibly and
undercover cop witnessing you doing this constantly... that isn't likely since
it's a small crime, and It costs alot of money to pay that much attention to
something.
