anyone ever done shots of everclear?

[xyyz]

i've done 151 shots... and i sorta wanna up the ante a bit.

unfortunately, i think everclear is illegal in cali.

anyone try this stuff... how is it? compare it to 151... how quickly does it work... and how bad can it get (other than the possible kill you aspect).

Its not really worth it. No flavor at all, just pure alcohol. If you're one of those 'im drinking to get drunk so i can fit in' types then go for it. Otherwise stick with something that atleast has taste.

thats f'd up. i don't think anyone sans russians maybe can hang.

Not worth it. As previous poster said, no flavor. Cheap though, so you can use it for mixes.

I like my girly drinks. Its like drinking fruit juice, but get you just as buzzed as beer. Too bad beer is cheaper, so I usually drink beer.

really... no flavor at all? odd... i'd figure that something that potent would have that burning sensation... or would strip your throat the way 151 does...

It burns, but I wouldn't consider burn a flavor.

Feeling pain in your throat does not equate to flavor.

Oh, it burns. But burn is certainly no flavor.

Go ahead and do it. Your liver will tell you if it was good or not.

Yeah it burns your throat.

 

[SoulAssassin]

It tastes like burning

Seriously, we used to make jungle juice in college w grain & vodka. Decided to do a shot (actually it probably wasn't even a shot) of the grain once. Once.

why bother if it doesn't taste good

 

[Mookow]

I've done doubles of it (usually when people call BS at a party and I get them to throw some $$ down, on occassion when I want to go from 0 to drunk as quickly as possible). Generally requires some walking around afterwards, never mind the way it gets my saliva glands pumping, requiring me to swallow repeatedly (and quickly) afterwards. Single shots arent as bad by comparision, they are very good at breaking up any congestion you might have in your throat.

Not something I would recommend unless you can take shots of 151 without a problem. It does make a very good batch of Hairy Buffalo, because there is no taste to it except fire/burning.

Also, at least for me, just before you take a shot, you'll want to breathe in, at least partway. After taking the shot your throat will be full of alcohol fumes, and if you dont breathe out before breathing in after the shot, you'll cough/choke on the fumes (much like if you open a cap of pop and bring it to your mouth fast and breathe in, you'll cough). And if you cough/choke on the fumes, you're going to be puking.

I've done them before. It definitely tastes like burning, but it goes away after a few seconds. It's quite efficient... I went to a party on Halloween and had three shots of everclear (and about a shot's worth of vodka) and it did me just fine. I did the shots and then just sipped on some soda. I've never had 151 so I can't compare. I know someone who basically drinks nothing but everclear as far as alcohol goes and she hooked me up. I was sold after Halloween

Edit: Definitely exhale after doing the shot, as was suggested above.

i did it once. dont do it...trust me. not worth it at all

 

[Feldenak]

Yeah, I've done shots of Everclear. I couldn't tell if it had a flavor or not because I believe it burned off all my taste buds.

I used to shoot 151 with no problem and Everclear still hurt. I knew it was time to cut back on my alcohol consumption when I was doing Everclear shots because 151 just didn't burn anymore.

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

why bother? its more fun to put a small amount in an ashtray. drink a beer and watch the fun.

 

[TheBDB]

I've done it twice while already super drunk and I was on the floor 15 minutes later both times.

 

[Compton]

I've done it several times. If you don't chase it with something it will really burn. It's really good when mixed with aftershock.

I bought a bottle of 1.75L Canada LTD (80 proof whiskey) and got to the bottom of the neck and was drunk as could be. I'm a light-weight, and I drink pretty often. It's so great being me

At the waffle house, my friends and I take creamer shots! You have to lick the lid after taking the shot, and slam the creamer container on the table. (Liquid creamer ofcourse)
