What to do with a flask of Everclear?

Been there. Done that. puked on the t-shirt. :smiley:

My roommate’s dad in college was a non-recovering alcoholic, his advice was very simple: Don’t fuck with Everclear. Probably good advice regardless of your interpretation.

I’m pretty sure you need a handful of microdot to toss into that punch, too.

You don’t have to drink it, you could eat it instead.

Oops… Suddenly, a lot is explained!

Are you people kidding? Get a cocktail shaker, ice, some pineapple juice (excellent cutter), a dash of Angostura bitters, and enjoy!

My local pub used to do this and charge $3.00 for a shot of the juice with two cherries in it. Pretty damn awful and they were generally ordered on a dare or when another shot of anything was probably already a Very Bad Idea.

They have to be.

Everclear is fine as a mixer. Use with anything you’d normally mix with vodka and halve the amount of alcohol/double the amount of mix. That’s it. It’s not that scary.

Jello shots?

This sounds interesting. How long do you marinate? What’s the end result?

I’ve heard you can use it in lieu of gasoline, in a pinch.

BINGO!

I grew up with some hard drinkin’ high schoolers, and no matter what your social class or physical attributes, we all knew this to be true. Don’t fuck with Everclear.

…unless you’re getting back at that dickhead who slept with your girlfriend. Or said girlfriend. :cool:

Back in college there was one of my buddies that simply didn’t drink much. His tolerance was horrible (he was asian, got the “asian flush” after like a single beer). Plus he didn’t much like the taste of alcohol. He’d usually have maybe 1 light beer or a girly drink, then babysit us drunks.

One night we were in possession of a bottle of everclear. Like fools, we decided to take a shot each. Horrible, horrible, horrible. I was already pretty hazy by that time and was drinking rum like water, but man that shot stung. All of us were sputtering and hacking from the burn.

Except no-alcohol buddy, who was completely sober. He took a shot with the rest of us. Held it in his mouth for a moment, swallowed, gave a pleased little “hm!” and announced “that’s not bad, actually.”

:eek:

That is caused by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_dehydrogenase Either to the presence of, or the lack of, I’m not sure.

I have had several Asian friends who have expereinced the “flush”, and it is usually quite funny. Unless it gets serious, like stop-breathing serious.

PS: IANAD, yadda yadda yadda.

When I was a teenager with bad acne, my mother took me to a dermatologist who, among other things, told me to rub my face with Everclear. Seriously. I’m still not sure why it was considered better than regular old rubbing alcohol, but it felt warm on the face and I got a slight intoxicating effect just from the smell.

I don’t recall the proportions, but my late grandfather used to carmelize sugar and then mix it with Everclear, water and cream for a cordial. A bit sweet, but good as dessert.

Well I wouldn’t say there’s a lot more. There’s very little more, really.

Pour over epsom salts in a sturdy pan that doesn’t hold any sentimental value for you, ignite, walk from room to room cleansing your dwelling (especially all doors and windows) of evil spirits, demons, and bad thoughts. Works better than sage, according to my aunt. :wink:

Throw some pot into it, shake it daily for a month or so, then poof you have Green Dragon. A shot will get you drunk and stoned! Fun for the whole family!

How slowly? I tried this once (with vodka) and the vodka just would not sink into the melon, it just sat on top. We ended up cutting the watermelon up and just soaking it in the vodka that way.
