    A friend got me a liter of everclear once and I mixed it with orange juice. 3 parts OJ and 1 part everclear. You could still set it on fire. Your liver would not recommend.

      My everclear story is short, sweet, and typical, lol.

      Friends and I were out of town a few states away for a big concert with limited locations. We randomly hung out with the guys in the hotel room next door who were drinking Everclear, among other things.

      One friend had a capful and reacted harshly. Then while the other friend had their capful, I went for the bottle itself to save some time. I also made a show of not taking a sip but tipping back the bottle and taking a big full gulp. I’d also like to point out that I’ve never been a drinker, so I have no built up tolerance for any part of the experience including the burn.

      It was decades ago and I vividly remember the experience as “my lungs instantly boiled off all moisture and my insides rapidly shrunk into a desiccated strand of human jerky and then exploded like that nazi in The Last Crusade.”

      I went to a party where they made jungle juice, and my girlfriend asked me to take it slow. I exclaimed “tastes like juice to me!” Bet you can guess how that went

      Once in college my buddy and I each took a double shot of everclear to start the night. It burned going down, and I think we were good after that

          We’ve been there before too, the effect was similar. One drinking game I had to absent myself was Edward Loco Hands XD
