First, Mama cites that they aren't business people.... second, she tells Ruth that she won't add selling alcohol to the things she answers for in death.

MAMA: Well—whether they drinks it or not ain’t none of my business. But whether I go into business selling it to ’em is, and I don’t want that on my ledger this late in life.
