Drug info - Everclear (Ethanol)

[wednesday]

i am recently getting into extractions with several different drugs but most of them call for everclear

so if you guys could me a little information about everclear i would greatly appreciate it

how much it costs usually? maybe how much usually comes in a bottle? is it readily availble?

thanks

Paul

you can not get everclear in the u.s its illegal or that my just be washington im not sure but you could just use 151 or order it or go across a border and get some

[OneDiaDem]

First, call a well stocked liquor store and ask if they have 200 proof anhydrous ethyl alcohol. Full service liquor stores supply hospitals and laboratories with 200 proof anhydrous ethyl (100% pure ethyl alcohol - no water) in the United States. 200 proof is preferred because it has no water. 190 proof (95% ethyl - 5% water) is ok but 5% residual water is a negative, especially when evaporated down. If the store doesn't have 200 proof, the salespeople will know where to get it.

If a permit is needed, call the state liquor board (usually in the State Capital) and ask for an application to get an ethyl alcohol permit. The fee is 5 or 10 dollars. On the application will be a question asking what the use of the alcohol will be. Write what they more or less want to hear. State that the use of the alcohol will be for "non-toxic surface sterilizing plus herb extraction - preservation - tincture - and perfume making" (or something to that effect). The poison warnings on the alcohol bottles and this idiotic red tape are just bureaucratic nonsense that results in the state making a big fat bundle off of the sale.

come to think of it might not be wise to answer this except over PM

[Bodhisattva500]

Geez i thought you could get everclear everwhere. I live in the midwest and i have no problem.

[white_lighter]

i live in washington state

[Sitbcknchill]

Look into other alcohols..... (dried) denatured works great....just dont drink it..lol

[red25]

just buy 151

[Gijs_b]

100% ethyl-alcohol? does it exist?I thought everything over 96%would be too damn expensive?

[Gijs_b]

Doesn't the denatured alcohol leave a residu? better not use it for extractions then?

Everclear is the hardest sh*t I have drank, it's avalible at every liquor store I've been into. I live near Chicago though I don't know about the rest of the U.S. but its definatly not illegal. But Isuggest you don't drink it, its fucking dangerous,but if you do just watch how much of that shit you drink.

[Lacognac69]

Yes I live in a state where everclear is illegal, actually i think they can sell 151 everclear but not the 190 proof everclear which is the highest proof possible. I think 97% is the highest physically possible amount of alcohol in everclear because you can't get all of the water out. I believe everclear is legal in places like illinois and indiana though. THe nice thing about it is that it is quite inexpensive and of course quite potent. I think its normally like $15 for a fifth at most as i remember. Its definintely some strong stuff.

[bassintro]

everclear/grain alcohol is very much legal in the US. it's at every liquer store I have been to. Not sure what the problem is, if you can't get that get tripple distilled vodka, it is very similar.

[AdrenalineJunki]

mmmm everclear...its so .....clear

[Ellis D.]

Alcohol typically gives me massive hangovers, ya know headache, bodyache, sometimes nausea,theall aroundfeeling like SHIIIT. Then I tried everclear and it doesn't give me a hangover at all. In fact I am clear headed energized and generally happierthe day after getting shit faced on everclear. It's so noticable that sometimes I'll get shit faced the night before a long day at work or school. Anyone experience the same thing with this stuff or is my body chemistry wacko?


I would guess the higher alcohol percent has something to do with it but I am clueless to why... anyone know what the deal is with this stuff or experience the same thing as I do?

Its most likey cause you end up drinking less than you would with vodka, whiskey...etc. Its might even get you drunker but your body doesnt have deal with as much stuff.

Yes, but I still wonder why it makes me feel better the next day instead of hungover. And I'm sure it isn't placebo because the first time it happened I was expecting a hangover but to mysurprise, I felt reallly good! kinda odd....

[unico_walker]

Probably because its the purest grade of alcohol availiable for sale.

I mean just try getting wasted on vodka and then do the same with some bum wine like wild irish rose. Its the small amounts of methanol and other crap in the wine that causes the hangover.

[club222]

After living through last Saturday morning, I'd say that Everclear definitely gives me a horrible hangover in the morning.



Question for those of you that like Everclear... Do you drink it
straight or mix it? My friends were chugging it from the bottle like it
was water. The second I smell that shit or taste a drop of it I feel
like I'm going to hurl. I always HAVE to mix it with something. I like
mixing it so that the drink tastes really good and I barely taste the
everclear, but since it's so strong, only a couple of the drinks and
then I'm shit faced.

[Ellis D.]

Club222 I'm with you, I gotta mix it. I usually put limes (with some sugar)or lemonaid in it, it burns waaaay to much to drink straight imo. Recently Imade a bloody mary using everclearand it was very tasty, I highly recommend it but use more tomato juice than you would withtypical Bloody marys.


Everclear effects me in such a weird way, I can drink what would equal like 15 shotsof 80 proof alchy and I feel verydrunk but it is a grounding drunk, I can drive just finebecause it doesn't effect my vision like regular alchy does,itmakes me extremely relaxed and loose but I can still focus. And like I said no hangover the next morning. I pretty much only drink everclear now, haven't had anything weaker in like 7 months besideswine and beer.


The only down side to it for me is it leaves my throat raw and hurting the next morningif it isn't mixed well enough.


The other night I made apretty tasty mix, I filled the bottom of a tall glass with everclear, added 3 limes, some sucanate for sweetener, and about 3 dropper fulls of liquid kava kava extract. oh and filled the glass up the rest of the way with water to delute.I wasn't too drunk but the kava plus the alchy was nice,I slept like a baby!Edited by: Wabbit
