To moonshine, to drink alcohol, to do dumb things in random states, to get caught playing Beer Pong or otherwise just be a delinquent nuisance to the respective school administration Urban Dictionary

Moonshine is fermented, distilled ethanol. Depending on what you fermented, you get varying levels of toxic methanol. You can test for methanol by adding a little Moonshine to a borosilicate glass beaker or petri dish, adding boric acid or borax and some sulfuric acid, then burning it. If the flame turns green, then your Moonshine contains toxic methanol and it's not safe to drink, only safe for the laboratory. If the flame turns yellow and blue, it's just ethanol. If the fire turns red, you'll be dead because it has lead. Moonshine is fermented sugar. Urban Dictionary

Moonshine is distilled drinking alcohol(ethanol). First, you ferment a sugary drink(by adding yeast). Then, you distill it. The trick is, distill slowly and collect and throw away the first few shots. The first few shots contain methanol, a toxic impurity which causes blindness, kidney failure, and even death. Then, continue to distill and collect that ethanol. Most moonshiners who forgot to throw away the methanol impurity found out the hard way. Now you can enjoy properly made moonshine. Moonshine is awesome! Urban Dictionary

Moonshine is illegally distilled homemade whisky, usually with a very high alcohol content. It got its name because it was normally distilled at night "by the light of the moon." Most moonshine is distilled in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia. Urban Dictionary

A homemade whiskey that is not aged and therefore is clear. Moonshine, despite popular belief, did not originate during Prohibition. After the Revolutionary War, whiskey was among the items taxed highly to pay for the war. For this reason, poor farmers built stills in the wilderness, usually in the Appalachians, and distilled whiskey at night. Hence the name "moonshine." Also contrary to what some may believe, moonshine itself does not cause blindness, brain damage, or any medical problems aside from those that all alcohol does. Poorly made moonshine distilled by amateurs during Prohibition was the cause of this. Many people intended to make easy money and so added things like embalming fluid to their whiskey. Moonshine is currently illegal in the United States because of taxes. It also has an extremely high alcohol content, usually in the range of 160 proof. Urban Dictionary

When a barber messes up your hairline and cuts too far back Urban Dictionary

General term for homemade, unaged (and therefore colorless) drinking alcohol. The term came into use during the Prohibition era in the United States when stills (homemade distilleries) throughout the southeast made liquor from corn, potatoes, sugar and other available ingredients, in direct defiance of the law, in order to meet the never-diminished demand. Moonshine (see also "white lightning") as a term refers to the alcohol's clear, colorless potency. Urban Dictionary

To make alcohol illegaly, usually by night. Urban Dictionary
