It's hard to do without breaking the market because it's so cheap. Reagent grade ethanol is dirt cheap and for this reason also spiked with chemicals to penalize people who drink it. Without sin taxes and regulations that accomplish similar ends you could probably sell 1.75L of vodka for 2 dollars. But then poor people could afford to have fun in a non-puritan fashion and Americans hate that for some reason.
