WHAT'S THE STRONGEST ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE YOU'VE EVER HAD?

WHAT'S THE STRONGEST ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE YOU'VE EVER HAD?

created Sat Jul 16, 05

When I was in Carriacou (Caribbean island), I was served a dark rum called Iron Jack's - 190 proof. The bottle carried a warning: do not drink near an open flame. It was pretty vile stuff; one sip and I had a coughing fit. I'd imagine if you drank that stuff on a regular basis, you could actually hear your liver rotting.

Iron Jack's
generic grain alcohol
Bacardi 151 rum
White Lightning (home made)
Homemade Limoncello
Grappa
Raki - Greek/Turkish spirit
20 year old Drambuie
Everclear
Absinthe

The strongest potable drink I've had was a shot of Bacardi 151.

I also accepted grain alcohol ... once. However, I don't consider 190 proof ethanol to be a "beverage."

wood grain alcohol

White Lightning, aka Moonshine, or Mountain Dew. Don't know the proof, but some of it was probably at least 140 or 150 proof. I used to know several people who made their own (seems to be a lost art now though).

"Hear your liver rotting"...
Haha!

ummm, 190 proof? Surely it only goes up to 100? I.e 100% pure alcohol?
by kingAlfredTheGreat on Sat Jul 16, 05 1:46pm [+]

No, the proof is different, for some strange reason. Cathexis will know :)

Of course, the proof is in the pudding...

Proof is 1/2 the percentage of alcohol. That is, 100 proof is only 50% alcohol. 190 proof would be 95% alcohol. You don't see bevarages over 100 proof very often, but they're out there (waiting for the unwary and overly curious).

Correction, I meant the alcohol percentage is 1/2 the proof number.

Good old Everclear, 199.99 proof by the label. One sip helped me to decide upon a life of sobriety.

Starkle, starkle little twink.
The who for hell you am I think.
I’m not under the al-fluence of inkahol.
Like some theeple peep I am.
