The state's Alcohol Beverage Control Administration has stopped stocking 190-proof grain alcohol at its warehouse, which provides all liquor sold in the stateThe nanny state must decide what's good for us.

Wouldn't 190 proof qualify as an explosive?

Do you know how anthropologists have determined with certainty that the tooth brush was invented in West Virginia?

Otherwise, it would be called a teeth brush.
(Not sure if that's related to imbibing 190 proof grain alcohol.)

Wouldn't 190 proof qualify as an explosive? - got some moon shine (it was tasty) from Arkansas many years ago; the sheriff there(really) made it to run his tractors on instead of gasoline.

gee, maybe the inbreeding will stop now.....

Nope...a highly flammable liquid. Don't smoke when doing shots. As a matter of fact, don't try doing shots. Been there done that, choked on my shoes.
What's next...banning Slivovitz, Goldschlager, Bacardi 151, wild turkey, anything over 80 proof, anything over 60 proof, anything stronger than wine, anything stronger than beer, anything stronger than 3.2 beer....water?

Did you ever try to launch a 190 proof grain alcohol container across the room with just a smidgen of the stuff left in the bottle. This is how you do it;
1) lay bottle on it's side
2) obtain Bic lighter from a fellow sailor on liberty that smokes
3) place lighter next to bottle opening
4) operate lighter according to manufacturers instructions
5) apply ice, followed by ointment and gauze to third degree burns on your thumb

West Virginia is doing away with high-proof grain alcohol citing safety concerns raised by college officials and others. Welcome to the Nerf society. It's recess time, children! Please roll up your sleeves.
