I don’t know how either the ban or the 1978 law are phrased but I don’t see why you couldn’t make the argument solely on taxation. Distilling concentrates the alcohol, so it is higher proof, more taxes.
I guess I’m comparing to something like income tax, where you get a personal exemption so lower income people aren’t taxed. Or maybe like a speed limit, where a few mph over aren’t worth enforcing
