kintaro 0 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 95% Everclear is the closest I've came. We used to make jungle juice with it in Uni. It's not legal to sell in Hawaii so I had a friend send me some from the mainland U.S. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 95% is legal to buy in Greece but it cost a fortune to buy. I ve tried it myself once and thought it taste like Vodca, with the main difference that it is 10 times stronger. We had some Polish friends once visiting for Christmas and I was surprised to see them mixing it with some water and having shots! It is so strong that it can punch a hole through your stomach in no time. Usually the shell this thing at drugstores for cleaning open wounds. Link to post Share on other sites

taguchi 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Why would people want to drinking 100% - just for becoming drunk? So Link to post Share on other sites

sweets87 0 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 drinking 100% alcohol just seems stupid to me. the worst ive seen people go for is absinthe which is 70%-80% i believe and the effects of that are ridic lol. Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 a "good" grappa is anywhere from 80 to 99%...and dont believe that stuff you can buy in most shops. My friend married an Italian woman and his father in law makes the stuff at home. Highly potent as you can imagine. Absinthe at 70 or 80%???? Where??? Link to post Share on other sites

(and do people drink it? ) It is sold only in drug stores and “normal” people use it only for cleaning wounds and staff. There is no special name for that, we just use its pharmaceutical name (in Greek). It is called “inopnev-ma” which comes from the ancient greek inos = wine and pnev-ma = spirit. In English it should be something like “ethanol” or “surgical spirit”. Link to post Share on other sites

sock_monkey 0 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 i've tasted 95% alcohol from the chem dept. not on purpose, some crazy dude on a ski trip had it in his flask. my tongue went instantly numb and i thought he'd just poisoned me (technically he did). I had a few smaller sips after that but not really something i'd bother with again. i'll stick with overproof rum (75% alcohol) Link to post Share on other sites
