Hola,
i bought everclear at my local liquor store in los angeles for $ 20.00 for 750 mil. i use it to clean my briar smoking pipes as instructed on a pipe
website.
here is their website if there are more questions and if you need more locations that carry their product.
www.luxco.com
quite a few disclaimers on the label:
GRAIN ALCOHOL
WARNING !!overconsumption may endanger your health
CAUTION !! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE HANDLE WITH CARE
CAUTION: DO NOT APPLY TO OPEN FLAME. KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE, HEAT AND OPEN FLAME. CONTENTS MAY IGNITE OR EXPLODE. DO NOT CONSUME IN EXCESSIVE QUANTITIES.
NOT INTENDED FOR CONSUMPTION UNLESS MIXED WITH NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
75.5 a;c/vol ( 151 proof )
when there was a liquor store at the grand central market in downtown los angeles, one of the workers tried to sell me a 750 ml of a mexican grain
alcohol that he claimed was 200 proof. sorry, i didn't look at the bottle or label.
also on the pipe forum, i bought a 32 oz plastic bottle of 70 % isopropyl rubbing alcohol that on the label stated first aid antiseptic.
does not contain, nor is intended as a substitute for grain or ethyl alcohol. will produce serious gastric disturbances if taken internally.
i hope this helps. nothing meant to be sarcastic.
BIEN SALUD, DA RAT

Seeing this old thread from dianaji get bumped up to the top made me think of her wonderful, kind spirit again today and how quickly the years have
flown by.
2016 will mark six years since her quiet passing and made me reflect again today on how precious life truly is.
Peace my friends...

thanks, diana |
The BevMo store in La Mesa, CA has it but it's kept under the counter. My daughter uses it to make lemoncello: peelings from 10 lemons, 1 liter
everclear, 1 liter water and 3 cups white sugar. Everclear is 190 proof = 95% alcohol some some people use 80 proof vodka, just not as good.

As I mentioned....before today's imports of isopropyl alcohol, Caņa was the only choice.
Today I would look in the common over the counter drug stores.
Otherwise just buy a bottle of Viva Villa. It's caņa.

She was one of my favorites. I am sorry I never got to meet her. She was a very gentle, peaceful soul...and still is, in our hearts.

Viva Villa is about 30-35% alcohol, the rest is rat poison. It is to tequila what Annie Green Springs is to wine.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

Cane alcohol....caņa. Says it on the label. Only assumed to be Tequila by those who don't read.

Ahhh yes. I didn't read back through the pages.
She was the lady who took a beating on a property deal around Rosarito. All she wanted to do was work in her garden. So sad.

Caņa out of the bottle is 95%. What's the difference when human consumption is concerned? Grain...Cane....both will blind you in large doses.

Never occurred to me to wonder. I did however walk into a Gigante super market one morning, and right inside the entrance sitting in a big chair was
a young lady passed out colder than a rock. A store security guard stood by her awaiting an ambulance.
Apparently she had gone down the health product aisle, grabbed a bottle of rubbing caņa, and took a huge swig of the contents. It knocked her out.
Further investigation by authorities showed she was suicidal.

We had a drink in the college era called the Baja 1,000---half shot of everclear mixed with a half shot of tequila...yep, that's some good solvent.

"No wonder-- most of the medicinal alcohol currently sold in retail stores, is denatured and supposedly undrinkable."
==================
She drank caņa. That was the rubbing alcohol available at the time.
