scale of -10 to +10, how do you feel right now?

Yeah we have it in Texas. Why settle for a mere 95%. Heat some epsom salt in the oven to drive off the hydrated water. Dump the anhydrous magnesium sulfate into the
everclear. Wait a few minutes. Decant liquid. Bound to be 99.5% plus

Isn't it dangerous to drink so much alcohol that is that kind of proof?
I mean 95%...

i said id stop at 5 but im a 8 or 9

it dehydrates you.

though the anhydrous magnesium sulfate is bound to be toxic

ive had a bit of vodka to

Well, point number 1, spent the last five years in a college town that goes by the mantra of "We're a drinking town with a football (American) problem."

Point number 2, I've got such a high tolerance that I've had several times where people have asked me how I'm still alive.

Point number 3, any time I get "dangerously" drunk, I go into some automatic "failsafe" mode, where I automatically take measures to keep myself alive. Laying on my side with an arm to prop me up (so I don't drown in vomit for example) is automatic.

Point #4, I'm still typing relatively coherently.

All I had was everclear. I've been mixing it with other things. I've also ordered food. (Greasy cheesesteak and fries, that'll help.) I've got a high tolerance. I'm also not trying to get quite that wasted. (I kind of want to, that's how stressed I am, but I'm hoping she comes online later and wants to talk to me...since if I talk to her I have the paranoid fear that she'll think I'm acting desperate or needy, or something...). SO I don't want to be completely incoherent.

Also, this is kind of like how I've been in the past with substances. Sometimes alcohol leaves me a drooling, babbling, neanderthal piece of s**t. Others, it almost feels like a stimulant. Now is one of those times.

I don't recommend drinking everclear to anyone. It is NOT to be taken lightly. I've spent the past four and a half to five years drinking at this level. I"m used to it. Does that make it "OK?" No, not really. I've got some "training" though. The suggested concern is nice though.

No its non-toxic and very little would be dissolved in the alcohol. If you drink 95% ethanol straight your lips and mouth will be numbed and burn. So its usually diluted and used in the same fashion Vodka would be to make mixed drinks or to generate flame in various foods for theatrics.

Right, but there's no point in having more than 95% ABV alcohol. That last little bit of water is negligible. To do much better, some amount of hexane...hexanol...s**t, too drunk to remember what that horribly toxic stuff in lab-grade ethanol is..that stuff. That's needed. Regardless, the difference between 95% and 9X.X% is negligible.

To get it close to 100% dry a metal such as calcium can be added that will react with the last traces of water.

Yes yes yes, but why? I used everclear this past weekend to clean a wound on my foot. If it is strong enough for that, why do I need it make it stronger if I want to drink it? I'm already good and drunk, and I've had less than.... 375 / 2 ... that'd be 150 + 37.5? 187.5 mL? Yeah, that much. That many mL of 95% ABV alcohol. I'd say that's good enough.

You must be drunk to think I'm series about drinking 200 proof alcohol

Yes, I am drunk. I didn't figure you could be all that serious, due to the steps involved to get it anywhere furhter than 95%. I don't recommend most people drink even 95%, even mixed, due to the dangers involved. When it says on the bottle not to drink it unless it is mixed with non-alcoholic liquids, that says something.

Only takes about 200-300ml of 16% to get me off my head

Obscene tolerance due to genetics and practice... Good thing? I don't konw. Either way, that's what I got. Being off the meds caused that steady increase in tolerance for me. Mixed blessing. Being a lightweight due to SSRIs was nice, amde it cheap, but at the same time being able to actually drink is nice. I think?

you know I've never really drank booze before
I've had a shot of vodka once but nothing happened

The more I use the sicker I get so I have a natural protection from alcoholism and rarely drink. My father and his 2 brothers were alcoholics at one time in their lives.
