Everclear

[suddenseer]

Seems to me it should be available everywhere, assuming it has the appropriate state tax stamp on it. I know we can get it here (in ND). I remember drinking it. Once. When I was in college, I threw up for a night, and a day. Lime vodka had similar results, but that's another story.

When I was in the Navy (a Corpsman), back in the early 70's, one guy got a hypodermic syringe and a 10-gauge needle and injected a bodacious-size cantaloupe with Everclear, at a huge party we had near Seattle. Results similar to suddenseer's post above.

I know it's a good disinfectant. It is also rumored to kill crabs.

I am glad you found the Island. if the bartender did not welcome you, I hope he does here. You are my kind of ham. You aint that old, but you are not a child. Your day, and my day interact. Welcome to the Island... Tim

A gal I know here says it greatly increases chances of pregnancy , too .

Welcome aboard .

I have a favorite way to use a bottle of Everclear. Take a med to large watermelon. Cut out a plug at both ends perpendicular to the center. Place an open bottle of Everclear in one plug.Let the liquor drain halfway. The draining may take 2 hours. Remove, and place in other plug hole. When drained replace plugs, set out in direct sunlight for at least 8 hours. Place in fridge over night. Enjoy.

The slices are sweet, and potent. After 2 pieces of cold sweet water melon, I was talking like thisssh. Vodka, or 151 rum works as well. There is a refrigerator version on you tube. I have only personally done the sun roasted version.

Seems I have a similar recollection. The version I recall was simpler... Take a watermelon and cut a plug from each end. Set it ass-up in a Coleman drink cooler (or similar). Pour the high-octane stuff in the top of the watermelon and fill your cup from the tap in the cooler. Ditto on the vodka or rum. I don't recall anyone actually eating the watermelon afterwards.

My pop made the stuff for years from potatoes. My x's brother was over once and asked for a glass of it. I poured him 3 ounces with a warning.
He downed the whole thing in one gulp.
His eyes lit up, he grabbed his head as it went down to rest on the table for a few seconds. When he came back up he had a nosebleed big time and he didn't even bang his nose on the table.

Are you sure it's not available? If I recall, I can buy it from Premier Liquor here in WNY...

Nope. If John sez so, it's so. Nanny State NY has spoken and that's final. I wouldn't dare disagree.

In fact this post has convinced me. I'm going to get my lotto tix in NJ because, well NYS just can't be trusted.;)

Just keep in mind the good news for this week...Drinkers live longer!!! But then, we always knen that. To your health!!!

Best party I've been to was many moons ago in the fraternity. The punch was screwdrivers...a pint OJ to a quart of Smirnoff. Dinner that nigt was Mexican...tacos and rice. At one point in the evening I couldn't whiz. All toilets had somebody puking...and the "recycled" rice on the carpets was priceless!

I asked for PGA and Everclear at the local state run ABC and they said nada, no chance, don't sell it, can't have it.
Wish they'd hurry up and privatize those stores here. The state gubmint is just plain not good at it and it looks like the fricken DMV, but with bottles everywhere.
Not a very appealing shopping experience. Virginia could learn a lot from Tennessee.

Your in like Richmond. Just come up my way and buy all you want.

As for a VERY tasty everclear recipe.... Get a good size jar of maraschino cherries. Dump all the red juice out of it. Pour it to the top with everclear. It will turn white! close the lid and put it back...BACK into the fridge (you may wanna put a skull and crossbones or a Mr. Yuck sticker on it so the kids dont get into it) Give it about a week. A month is better. They juice turns red again and they are not only delicious but freekin deadly <kaff-kaff> Oh and if you mix the juice with 7-up...:yum:
