A nurse friend of my XYL gave me a little Mason jar of Moonshine with a slice of Pear in it. Just cracked it open tonight cuz the wife is in meetings all night. Wow!!! That Pear coulda lasted forever soaking in that stuff. Hell, its going to kill me but my body won't need preserving. My lips burn, my tongue burns, my belly is warm and my eyes keep fogging up.:cry::spin::drool:

Decades ago I made my own moonshine. The ingredients were ordinary white sugar and ordinary Fleishmans Double Acting bakers yeast. The equipment it was made in was common laboratory glassware. Once fermented it was distilled in a flask fitted with a water jacketed glass condenser and a Hempel column over a Bunsen burner. No aging, no mellowing, no nothing. The stuff was so intensely potent and so vile I couldn't bring myself to drink it. I did manage a little bit. But a friend of mine did and he liked it. He wanted my to make more but I never did.

I've had some of that same stuff lately, Mike. The pear and the apple.
They're awesome right out of the jar...and give you a grinning glow quick-like.
I usually run into it around NASCAR time.
enjoy!

Act like that and it'll have you picking gravel out of the side of your face when you wake up.
True story.

Today my head hurt and my eyes hurt this morning. Finally feeling normal (for me) now! Phew that was one strong pear!

My head hurts, my feet stink, and I don't love Jesus (oh my lordy it's that...)
It's that kind of mornin'
Really was that kind of night
Tryin' to tell myself that my condition is improvin'
And if I don't die by Thursday I'll be roarin' Friday night

Couldn't be any more potent than 190 proof Everclear.

That's nothing but sugar liquor with a handfull of corn thrown in so they can call it "grain alcohol." Everclear is better suited for paint thinner and cleaner than for human consumption. Even if you dilute it down to 35 to 40%, it will still remove a layer of skin from your mouth and throat if you drink it. People here have been rushed to the emergency room and projectile vomiting half their blood up after drinking EC.
Everclear is stupid shit for stupid people.

"Decades ago I made my own moonshine."
No you didn't.
"The ingredients were ordinary white sugar and ordinary Fleishmans Double Acting bakers yeast."
That's how you make pure ethanol anhydride.
"The stuff was so intensely potent and so vile I couldn't bring myself to drink it."
That's why shiners throw first off the top on the ground. After it's been thumpin' a while the good stuff comes out, add a little water and you've got...

4 H and an FFA
On a field trip to the farm
Me and friend sneek off behind
This big old barn
Where we uncovered a covered up
Moonshine still
And we thought we'd drink our fill
And I swallowed it with a smile
ohh I run ten mile

Chug-a-lug chug a lug
Make u wanna holla hidy hoe,
Burns your tummy don't you know
Chug-a-lug chug-a-lug

Everqueer?

That's why you can use it as paint remover or soak sawdust with it and pack it in a tube for Redneck dynamite.

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

Everclear is stupid shit for stupid people.

It's basically near pure ethyl alcohol and, ethyl alcohol is ethyl alcohol, CH3CH2-0H regardless of what it's made from. Grain alcohol is the same as sugar alcohol, it's the molecule CH3CH2OH aka Ethanol.

If it's diluted down to 30-40% it's not going to dissolve your skin and cause severe bleeding any more than vodka or whiskey. If these people were vomiting blood then 1) they were very sick to begin with and should not have been drinking anything except perhaps..milk or Metamucil. 2) They were lying and were drinking the stuff full strength and then trying to cover for their stupidity or 3) They were drinking something else altogether....perhaps methanol or turpentine. :-D.

I've drank Everclear diluted to 40% or 80 proof by volume with pure distilled water.It is almost tasteless, odourless, and no more potent or irritating than 80 proof Nikolai vodka. It has about the same kick too. The only reason for buying Everclear is that it's cheap and a little bit goes a long way. A 1 litre bottle can be easily mixed down to more than 2 or even 3 litres with plenty of kick. That is a pretty good deal for persons like myself.who drink for kicks as opposed to taste.

BTW I wouldn't drink anything over 40% alcohol. Once you start approaching 50% / 100 proof the alcohol becomes very irritating to the mucous and lining of the throat and stomach. Anything over 50% should be diluted down before drinking

Last but not least... don't inject alcohol. I know of someone who did. He was very sorry that he did.

Only ever had one experience with Everclear. Long ago, and don't remember it.

Everclear is also great for mixing with opium to make Laudanum.

Makes a good Green Dragon too but the fact remains nearly pure ethanol is pretty foul. That's why you'd never drink Laudanum straight, a little in water settles the stomach, stops cramping and diarrhea better than a cork.

Well then sir, you're a better man than most. Please be careful out there.

It also clears the mind, makes one relaxed and euphoric, eases any type of pain (or at least makes it more bearable). An all round remedy.
