One party that included Mexican food had a screwdriver punch. Half vodka, half OJ. Later in the evening every crapper and sink had a line of people waiting to puke. Not to mention those who didn't make it leaving trails of rice on the carpets! One of the best parties EVER!Originally Posted by W3WN
If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
Lines and puking don't work together.
Never did for me, anyway.

I generally do research before I speak. Why ? because that is how I was trained. Go look up the laws. Pure 190 proof (95%) azeotropic grain alcohol (which is what everclear is) cannot be sold as a liquor in New York State. If anyone is selling it in NYS they are violating the laws.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.;)
There is a 75% (150 proof) version of everclear (or similar) that I believe CAN be sold in New York. But 190 proof booze cannot be legally sold in NYS.
Don't take my word for it. Go look it up yourself.

Anyone ever have the cojones to attempt a shot of Everclear? I haven't...heard it can be fatal.

The only I've ever used Everclear for is removing varnish. I think that's what it's best suited for.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
It's not a matter of "having the cajones" its more a matter of common sense. Absolute alcohol is a bit too strong to apply to the tissues of the mouth, throat, and digestive tract. It can be extremely irritating. It is also very strong, remember it is close to 2.5 times the strength of the "hard liquor" that most people are used to. Thus a single shot of everclear is like having 2.5 shots of regular 80 proof liquor, something to keep in mind if you are drinking Everclear straight or using it to make mixed drinks. I would advise mixing it with water or something. Drinking straight azeotropic 95% grain alcohol straight is not advisable.

Yeah. I saw a young woman do it because she said she didn't want no watered down alcohol. Shot went down and 10 seconds later she was puking blood for nearly 15 minutes. I told everyone to give her milk but she wanted water which made the pain last longer. It's just cheap sugar liquor and water does not absorb it like milk or bread. The only thing I use it for is to make extracts. Afterwards I cut it in half with distilled water. Then later when I actually use the extract, I cut it in half again. Vanilla bean extract is simply wonderful.

To my knowledge, Everclear, contains no sugar, albeit the sugars involved in the initial fermentation. Everclear is as close to pure absolute ethanol as you can get, short of pure reagent grade ethanol for lab or pharmeceutical use.
Ethanol is extremely irritating to the mucous linings of the throat and stomach. It's too irritating to drink straight, regardless of how tough anyone might think they are.
