Interesting example. I didn't know that distilling was a right there. I had great uncle who nearly blew himself up with a still during prohibition, so perhaps I'll just live with that particular constraint... I saw the traffic from NZ in my Google stats. Nice to have voice to attach to the number. Thanks.
Thought of another interesting freedom I now have, as a Kiwi. I can vacation in Cuba if I want.
I wouldn't call it a right, exactly - but in this context I would definitely call it a social freedom - perhaps akin to pot use in Amsterdam. Seems to me that distilling is much more dangerous under strict prohibition, because prohibition encourages secrecy and discourages the flow of information about good / safe practice. It's not very dangerous at all, if you know what you're doing and follow some basic safety precautions.
