It's the same in Romania. Basically there shouldn't be any issues with drinking home made alcohol, it's like eating a home made cake.

We also had some cases of crap being sold, but that's a different thing.

Not underestimating, but I've seen first hand how these are made, from my uncles and neighbours as I'm from rural Romania. The equipment may not be clean, people tend to get drunk because QA is literally drinking it and that affects the next batch, the precursor fruits could be half rotten, etc. I appreciate homemade spirits because of the genuine taste, but be aware of the conditions they're made in.
