No, the Baldwin sisters were proper Christian little old spinsters.
Pap pa's recipe was the whiskey they made and they were sort of oblivious to the fact it was alcohol and illegal. The whole town protected them and men prized their beverage making abilities.. In those days it was legal to make wine, beer and spirits in your home for your own consumption but the "revenuers" wanted to tax you. So the little old ladies had no idea they were doing something illegal; they just wanted to avoid being taxed - and there was "Prohibition" during most of the series.

You never saw anyone sloppy drunk, although father Walton came home well oiled once
