What are you drinking?

Hey Schmoe!
During my ill spent youth, a friend and I played a bit of a dirty trick on a third friend with some 151. We had dropped acid a while before he came over and we planned on drinking this Bacardi 151 rum. For those who don't know, while on lsd, you don't feel the effects of alcohol as much as you do usually.
And so it was that we three sat down acting all hurlyburly with the dupe and the bottle. Half way though we we're having a difficult time to keep from laughing too much and giving the whole thing away. By the time we neared the end of the bottle, he was hammered and we taunted him with jokes about his manhood and his clear inability to hold his liquor.
He couldn't figure out why the heck we we're up and lively while he was ready to find some floor to curl up on. heh heh Once he pass out we did his makeup for him and tied his shoes together that sort of thing.
Once he woke up the next day, he was damn confused about what had happened. He thought is must be cause he didn't eat much, that he was tired, that maybe he was getting the flu. We never mentioned a word about the acid to him. Though we went to great lengths to find a way to bring his drinking inabilities up in conversation often.
Good times, good times.

My brother and I did similar with moonshine once....the stuff we made was 95% by volume...(I guess that would make it 200proof)
This friend we had invited, called us sissies when we mixed our drinks 1 inch in a tall glass and fill up with mix...
Thinking it was store bought gin because it was in a gin bottle he wanted his drinks half and half.....and we obliged him:lol:
For all of you who have never had moonshine, you can't tell how strong it is in a mix.
Needless to say after three of them....he slept on the floor for about 8 hrs and woke up with the worst hangover;-)
You guys are mean!! hehe.... good overproof rum can definitely be used for catching someone off-guard... it's very smooth. The cheaper stuff is easier to tell that you are going to be in for a world of hurt if you over-do it cuz you can taste the alcohol a lot more. ahhh... Malicious drinking games.... brings back college memories!
if something is 95% alcohol and you can't taste the alcohol in it, the rest must be peppermint oil or something.
By the way 95% alcohol is downright dangerous and should never be consumed unknowingly. Your friend may have been sleeping or may have been dying. The only way you know is that he woke up.

Usually the lack of inpurities makes an alcohol less prone to cause hangover.
We used to put it in a fruit punch and thought it must be all the fruit juices that replace the electrolites pissed out the night before. heh heh
I've noticed that there is not a very strong alcohol smell in high proof alcohol for some reason.

We drink shine with a shot of fireball on the top .A couple of those and your well on your way ;-)
I regularly work with absolute alcohol. Guess what's on the label? Toxic. That's right it's a poison. That's why it's best not to go drinking it, and certainly it's a really bad idea to start giving it to people without their knowledge.
I'm not much for chemistry but I think absolute alcohol is something less than one percent water. The toxin in it is benzene. It's not used for consumption though. So there you go.
The moonshine my brother and I were making was only dangerous if you drank too much and was tested by the OPP as good......how it happened to be tested is too long a story for my two finger typing....but I was informed of that by an officer I used to target shoot with and later borrowed our still on occasion....hee hee:lol:
I can't say I have ever tried moonshine nor would I want to, it being about the only type of booze I don't like.
I AM one for chemistry and Absolute alcohol is 100% alcohol, and the toxin in it is alcohol.
I understand you were probably very careful (except about allowing someone to drink it without knowing its content), however I am just trying to allow readers here to understand that alcohol is toxic in and of itself, and should be treated with great care.
Having said that I like a drink myself sometimes.
Of course we were carefull. First the still was entirely built in stainless steel (no soldered joints) Then a thermometer was used in the process to make sure only the alcohol evaporated plus re distilled with equal parts of water and filtered to remove impurities. When the guy served himself and we watched so he wouldn't make it more than half and half which is the equivalent of drinking straight whiskey.....then the bar was about ten paces from where we sat....when he got up to go four his fourth he had no legs left....same effect as the large zombie drinks in the old days....if you could drink three the rest were on the house providing you could walk over to the bar and pick it up:lol:
Interesting, how do you get it to 100% without Benzene? Also what is the toxin?
you're correct in saying that benzene is a common contaminant in ethanol, but usually at very low levels. The fact that the alcohol is described as "100%" means that it's less than 0.5%. And believe me ethanol is the toxin in ethanol. Benzene sure is a toxin too, though, you're right.
My point here is that I'm trying to tell people to be careful with alcohol. It's fun, sure, right but it's also downright bloody dangerous when concentrated. It's toxic and kills people. Particularly people who didn't respect it, passed out, and had friends too nonchalant to think "hang on, he's not moving, perhaps we'd better look after him". In fact a more common response to alcohol poisoning in men is to put them in funny positions and draw all over them with marker pens and immac their eyebrows.
Unf I know what you're getting at but i'm not arguing this to argue with you, i'm just trying to put forth a case for being a little more careful with "moonshine" and other concentrated alcoholic "drinks"
