Yeah, so I was at a friend's house around 8:30 this evening, when he offered me a shot of "vodka." I was like, sure why not? So he handed me the shot, and I threw it down.
2 seconds go by, and everything from my tongue to the bottom of my esophagus start burning like the flames of hell. I scream at the top of my lungs "That wasn't vodka, motherf'er!!" He goes and gets the bottle... It was Everclear, and it was the 190-proof version that's not even legal to sell in the state of FL (he bought it in GA). And I just took a shot of it!!
Turns out everyone in the room was in on the joke, and had already fallen for it before. That was over 3 hours ago, and my throat is still itchy...
I said I had no hard feelings for the little prank, it would just be something I could brag about later.

Interesting fact:
If you take 190 proof everclear and correctly mix it with avion or some other highly purified spring water, it is completely indistinguishable from extremely expensive vodka.

thats because its diluted from 95% alcohol to something a slightly bit more tasteful

This weekend my friends and I had a Halloween bash and I made some jungle juice. Normally, you'd use grain alcohol, fruit and juice concentrate but since they don't sell grain without a permit in PA I had to use 100 proof vodka instead of grain. Vodka is essentially tasteless so it worked very well. I cut up some Canteloupe, Honeydew, Watermelon, Mango, Papya, Strawberry, Apples, and Mandarin Oranges and put them in an Igloo cooler with a gallon of the vodka and let them soak it up for a couple hours. Then I added the juice concentrate to taste with some ice. It was really tasty. The melons really soaked up the vodka. The girls were drinking that stuff up.

It was a blast!

The Jungle Juice we used to make out west was always made with Everclear (191). Cut up fruit, soak in Everclear and some kind of fruit punch. I've probably been the drunkest I've ever been, from JJ.
And yes, the ladies love it because you can't taste the alchohol at all.

That's what we had at the party I was at last Saturday, but the girl who mixed it called it Hairy Buffalo.
The fruit hits you hard.

True story:
Graduation day at college when I was a soph. Lots of parents and such in the fraternity since we were graduating 20 men. But did that stop the undergrads from partying ? no...
My buddy Dan takes a shot of grain on a dare, it fires him up real bad and he moves to the window quickly, and vomits hard. The puke flies out the 3rd floor window and INTO Jeff W's 2nd floor window, he the mildest guy in the whole house, AND his parents are in his room. They are just sitting there, and vomit flies in the window. Not amused at all.
editor's note: the stupid design of the house makes this entirely possible, the windows face each other rather than facing outward, the university's idea of keeping a lid on things I suppose

When I was in West Virginia, my neighbor in the dorm had some moonshine. His grandpa or uncle or someone made it.
Let me tell you, if you want something that'll make ya hurt, moonshine'll do it.

Art used to have crazy parties with everclear. Great as a screwdriver mixer. Everclear is not however, a safe thing to mix with slurpees

Back in highschool when i changed schools my senior year, I used to drink a lot and i cleaned out the liquor cabinet and all that was left was the everclear...until i drank that too. Never had anything burn that bad going down, and actually had to chase it.

I licked a drip of everclear exactly one week after having my tongue pierced. Tell me that's not painful

Jungle juice huh. Never heard it called that before. Up on da range, ya know, we refer to it as wop. Why we call it that, I have no idea.
One time I tried to blow some fire with 151, but it was too windy and it hurt like hell keeping that shit in my lip.
I've got a buddy who soaked stems and leaves from the funky green plants he grew (ahem) in vodka for three months. He said it took him four days to remember drinking it.
