Distillation of spirits is a necessary requirement for life on the Aramco compound in Saudi Arabia. Outside the compound, the locally-distilled "sid" is on offer. Both varieties have been available for a half-century with no reports of poisoning.

How does Texas law affect the possibility of distilling in a Saudi compound? What’s the jurisdiction there?
