The state's Alcohol Beverage Control Administration has stopped stocking 190-proof grain alcohol at its warehouse, which provides all liquor sold in the state

The nanny state must decide what's good for us.

"Of all the liquors, grain, especially the 190-proof, is purchased solely to get drunk on."

Ok, am cleaning the screen from Dr. Pepper snort.

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.)

just drink 20.52632% more of the 151-proof and you have 190-proof. They think they can outsmart us. Ha!

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.

I actually did do shots of Everclear in college once. That wasn't too bad, pretty smooth, actually.

Mexican sugar cane alcohol, on the other hand...that stuff's basically white lightning with a tax stamp. I got roped into shots of that a couple of times...

"Hey, Rich, how about a shot of vodka?"
"Yeah, sure..."
"Here ya go..."
*glugKHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!*
"What the...?"

Of course, after the first shot, that's pretty smooth too...or maybe your esophagus is under anesthesia at that point...

A West Virginian walks into a hardware store and asks for a chain saw that will cut 6 trees in one hour. The salesman recommends the top of the line model. The West Virginian is suitably impressed, and buys it. The next day he brings it back, complaining that it would only cut down 1 tree and it took ALL DAY! The salesman takes the chain saw, starts it up to see what's wrong, and the West Virginian says, "What's that noise?

"But the biggest sale of it was for labs and stuff. "It's used as a cleaning solvent."

I think that I used to use the stuff to clean off residual resin soldering flux from printed circuit boards that I was repairing. Never thought of actually drinking it, though...

I'm surprised I haven't seen my town drunk down at the Ethanol Pump getting himself a gallon corn liquor from his begging change.

Probably comparable to MD2020, less the food color.
