Strongest drink youve ever had?
 
Well, had a shot tonight, and it was like death.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everclear_(alcohol)


95%.

"Illegal in most states/provinces"

So, what about you?

Since I'm not an idiot, I just drink standard things.

One night on a best friends birthday I drank 151 Rum, and ended up falling face first into an empty ditch with my pants down and impaled my stomach with a stick. But I was 17 then.

Well, you're still a knob for drinking grain alcohol while not being from Saskatchewan or Manitoba.

Sounds like you couldn't handle it.
I've had 151 perfectly fine before.

I guess 151 is the strongest I had. Also had moonshine but really tough to gaugh what the hell that is.

Well, me and my friend shared a 2'6 for his birthday.
So at that level you're right, I couldn't handle it.:p

Done everclear, done 151.

Hot damn 100 made me grimace a bit, but I'm not a big fan of cinnamon so maybe thats why.

Want to try Absinthe sooner or later though

North American Absinthe is shit.
It's just liquor.

German/European(wherever) Absinthe is the kind you want.
That's the kind made with wormwood, which causes the effects.
I'm not sure if you can get it imported, since it's technically a hallucinogen.

In France I had a drink that you were supposed to mix with water. I didn't know so I drank it pure. The name sounded like 'pistache' and I guess it was over 40%. It tasted much better with water btw.

I think you're talking about "Pastis" I also had that the last time I was in France, fairly interesting.

As for me, Grave's brand Grain alcohol is the strongest. My friends and I combined to drink a bottle for 7 straight weeks, but the poor decisions we made those nights and the threat of going blind helped us stop.

My desire to try new things outweighs the restrictions on consumption I placed on myself. I'll never turn down a new beer, drink, or type of food.

Had vegemite last night, that was not delicious.

I watched a Discovery Channel episode on Absinthe not long ago of a man trying to brew his own brand of what he determined was the original 19th century recipe for Absinthe. Along the way, it shot out facts about the stigmatized drink, and essentially killed the notion that there is a more toxic or hallucinogenic affect from drinking Absinthe than there is from any other drink.

Its regained its popularity in Europe in recent years, so I don't know what the US is all hung up about :p

I thought it was proved that Absinthe doesn't really cause hallucinations. Even the stuff with Wormwood. I thought they did some neurological studies and found that the drink doesn't effect the brain at all like real Hallucinogens. I'll do some research later this weekend when I have time.

Anyway.....Everclear has some purposes (and is legal in Illinois, wooo!).
That purpose? Jungle Juice! Jungle juice is one of the most delicious things out there, and it fucks you up like nothing else.

I'm surprised you could even get a shot of everclear down. We've played that game before.


Also, 151 has purposes and that is for making cocktails and stuff.
You could make a Caribou Lou....151, pineapple juice and malibou rum :p

Re: Strongest drink youve ever had?
 
I really had no idea what it was when i was asked if i would take a shot.

THere was also a tad of vodka in the shot, but i really didnt notice it.
