    To be clear, Everclear is 190 proof or 95% alcohol. Most spirits sold in stores are ~80 proof or 40% alcohol.

    Be very careful with Everclear. One can easily poison themself.

      Yeah, I once tried it and got accused of jumping on the grunge bandwagon.

      While the most famous variety is 190, it’s available at a number of lower strengths, including as low as 120. I suspect this is to allow sales in areas that have restrictions on high proof spirits.

      Your warning is still valid, even on these lower strengths. Being completely neutral, it’s easy to disguise in mixed drinks.
