Down at the bottom, there is a warning, "NO DEBE BEBERSE"
Is this what Dennis is talking about?
We have a bottle that the vet told us to buy to disinfect dog wounds. |
I have a bottle that I bought in the grocery store with the same labeling, only it's 70 GL.
Likely wood alcohol and that stuff could kill you.
I use it against mealy bugs and scale on plants.

Oh....don't pay any attention to that. 
Well....I wouldn't drink it either although, unlike wood alcohol, I could if properly cut. I'll just stick with Pacifico.

You Can get it in Hyder Alaska,When you get Hyderized it means you have been initiated by drinking a shot of it. Double distilled shine works for me.

As some here are alluding to - wood alcohol (which is Methanol or Methyl Alcohol) will kill. One sip of methanol (as little as 10 mL) can cause
permanent blindness by destruction of the optic nerve and 30 mL (1 fl oz) is potentially fatal:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol
Alcoholic beverages ("consumables") have Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol). Everclear is a familiar "brand" of neutral grain spirit (pure "grain alcohol").
There are stores in states that it's legal for sale that have their own store/private label. Grain is just one source of rectified spirits.
While you should double-check with the authorities, alcoholic beverages over 76% alcohol are illegal for sale in California, but I'm guessing are not
illegal to possess. If you source something in Baja, you may likely be able to bring it back.
95-96% alcohol content beverages, again as mentioned previously in this thread, are available for sale in Arizona.
Reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectified_spirit

Note this rectified spirit imported from Poland by a Chicago distributing company:

Brought back a bottle from the Mainland last year, labeled 96 % Puro Alcohol de Cana. It was displayed with the other liquors in the grocery store,
although if I remember, it never made it to a shelf, but was just placed on the floor there, and came in two or three sizes. I splurged and bought the
440 ml size, by far the smallest.
It is plainly to be used as a beverage by the more discriminating patrons, cost a mere 13 pesos, about one dollar, and drinking the entire contents
would really throw you for a loop. I don't bother with the northern drug store offerings now. They, if consumed, could blind you, so why buy them if
you can have a more powerful antiseptic around that is safe, and cheaper. What we usually can buy in drug stores in Canada is 70% and can't be
consumed. In the past I have added Alcohol to a gas tank when searching to remedy engine problems but would never put 70% in the tank
96 % is about as close to pure Alcohol as you will find, as the solution rapidly draws water from the air beyond that concentration. My small bottle,
with about 200 ml left was once 192 proof, I believe. The warnings on the label advise not to drink it (because no tax was collected on it, I
suppose), that it is inflamable, avoid contact with eyes, don't give it to children, that it is illegal to sell it to people under 18 years of age.
I'll be looking for more on the next trip.

i rest my case...i have no need to defend my sense of humor...i know what makes me laugh, and for sure it's not sarcasm, which is a form of cruelty
and humor at others' expense... and it is none of my business what u think of me.
i thank those of u that have helped me with my original question, which i can see has taken a different direction.

190 PROOF AND A MARINE DON’T MIX
One weekend in Hawthorne Nevada during 1971, eighteen year old Marine Lance Corporal (E-3) David M. is drinking boilermakers with 190 proof alcohol
and Coors beer in Max’s Bar. Max’s Bar was unofficially designated a bar in town where underage Marines could drink. Lance Corporal David M. remembers
nothing else until awakened by fellow Marines the next morning from his bunk and told to report to the Commanding Officer of the Marine Barracks.
Lance Corporal David M. reports to Commanding Officer at attention and is read the riot act by said Commanding Officer. It seems that the night
before, Lance Corporal David M. was found by the Mineral County Sheriff’s Department lying unconscious on a grave in the town graveyard.
Said deputies placed Lance Corporal David M. into the back their patrol car and gave him a free ride back to the base. On the way to said base Lance
Corporal David M. kicked out one of the back door windows and now owes Mineral County for parts and labor. Said money was taken from Lance Corporal
David M’s pay. I never drank 190 proof alcohol again in my life. Luckily I was never charged with drunk in public or destruction of county property
but did have to go the sheriff’s office on my weekends off and wash cops cars and suffer the slings and arrows of the deputies for my transgression.
All in all I’d say I got off very lucky.

hmmm...i wonder where that store is in imperial beach.
oh, and btw, using everclear makes the tinctures last years longer as it is higher in alcohol content. i'd be happy to send a link to those who
might want to make aromatherapy blends and/or herbal tinctures. |

Yeah, it's not blended stuff, but does work... and for many applications
One can buy a small still for around $250-$350 dollars which would take care of just about anyones needs.. I have plans for one that can do many
gallons a day.. you can buy a still online if you want.. the ingredients can be secured with very little problem. With the still concept you can drink
and drive as my car uses "ethanol" albeit only 85%.. there are conversion kits from Brazil.. they use ethanol a lot for transportation.
After all the "alcohol" you drink is just a molecule (ethanol) {thanks Doug} which is derived from a fermentation process that's been used for a very
long time... and still is..
Many country's have no restrictions on the personal production of "sprits" to a point, have not been able to find the Mexican "law" on the subject..

They sell Everclear and another brand "Diesel Fuel" or something named like that... at BevMo in CA.
My buddy made grappa from our pressing while making wine. Add pressing to canning kettle, add a little water. Put a wide mouth pyrex bowl in the
middle of the kettle. Heat slowly and invert the lid. Pack the lid with ice to condense the booze to drip off the lid handle into the pyrex. Do not
boil. Alcohol evaporates before water.
It wasn't bad. A faint taste of rubber tire. Probably 90 proof.

Sorry to bump a 6 year old thread.
Friend is asking where he can get Everclear or something like it, in Baja.
Like this thread says, would Cana at a pharmacy be the best place to look?

And I thought that EVERCLEAR was the stuff you put on Mexican floor tiles to seal them.

Caña is sold even in the big grocery stores. Used to be the only rubbing alcohol available here before importing goods became the business norm.
