If you haven’t been painting your insides there is nothing to worry about!
Heh thanks..I always wondered about that.. egad, how could you drink that> looks like it would melt your tongue.
yah...it’s illegal to sell Everclear in Washington too, but that means I just drive across the river, buy it in Oregon and save the markup and the Sales Tax to boot.
On a comparable brand of call whiskey, same size (1/2 gallon) the price difference (and my savings) is about $9 a jug.
I remember (barely) getting really messed up on Diesel and Killians at a party in college...good times...
A still in NC? Surely you jest! /s
Shots of Bacardi 151, warmed on a radiator should cover it.
Sadly, it’s our side (politically) who is usually behind these silly things.
Seriously folks, crap like this makes it really hard to take us seriously on tax policy.
We *have* to start letting some of this nanny-state crap go.
When I was in school, we used 190 proof alcohol in organic chemistry. They added hexane to it so the students wouldn’t steal it for partying. I still got a “C”.
Good times indeed. I remember the wop parties back in my university days. For those of you who don’t know what wop is, it’s not an Italian slur, it’s a homemade brew. Get a plastic pail or wastebasket, fill that sucker up with all the liquors we can pour and mix with about a gallon or so of juice. You’ll need a liver transplant the next day.
We had the good stuff. Tax free Gold Shield 200 proof. Sometimes bottles would go missing.
Hairy Buffalo
Things You’ll Need:
10+ packets of kool-aid of assorted varieties
fruit - a few oranges, apples, a watermelon slice, anything else if you’re adventurous
A few liters of grain alcohol (Everclear works best, or any other 190 proof alcohol is ideal)
Tub, such as large plastic storage bin
Ladle
1 5lb bag of sugar
A source of water (sink)
100 proof = firewater.
Supposedly the Indians so as to not get ripped off when trading for whiskey, would try to ignite the product. If it burned then they were 100% sure that they could get sh** faced...thus firewater.
We never drank it straight. Made PJ which is Everclear mixed with Hi-C. Favorite of the college crowd. Used to partake of it served from a 5 gallon galvanized washtub.
I’ve come upon stills in the hills.
So, the stores won’t sell the nearly 100% stuff. Yeah? So?
“Used to partake of it served from a 5 gallon galvanized washtub.”
You gotta watch out - that zinc can kill ya!
It's happened too many times. Worst offender was the use of lemon aid.
Must not be around any Good ‘ol boys.
A good jar of shine shows up every now and again for sippin’ around the fire on a dark night.
Wow. The stupidity of youth strikes again! It was always at large parties and was gone in a couple or three hours.
Everclear isn’t a drink, it’s a lab quality solvent.
It sounds similar to hairy buffalo.
