No
But I can refer you to a good pharmacist in Ensenada for cheap prices on insulin.

Well, I had to Google it. Wikipedia says that 190 proof is illegal in California but 151 proof is legal. Wow! pretty hard core. I guess it would fit
right in here with the Nomad board.

Everclear has two uses. Molotov c-cktails and totally destroying one's ability to think and reason. In case no one figured it out, 190 proof makes it
90% pure alcohol. I sincerely hope that our original poster was joking about this stuff.

I think it's 95%. It can also be used as a fuel for camp stoves.

190 proof would be 95% alcohol, wouldn't it. But what's 5% among friends?

Just use few drops more mix.
I got some here in Mx that I think is 180 proof. Just checked and the label is gone so not sure. But I use it to absorb the water in my gas tank
that sometimes accumulates there.

What is the stuff that the hardcore alcoholics down here get at the farmacia? I have always been under the impression that it was fairly high test
stuff.

My son just bought some Everclear at a store in Imperial Beach, CA. We use it to make a homemade drink called "Apple Pie" Hot or cold this drink
tastes just like apple pie and will help you to feel a little pie eyed as well.....mmmm tastey.

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.

The stuff sold here is Caña, made from sugar cane. It's sold to be used as an antiseptic just like the alcohol sold in the states. Isn't that wood
alcohol?
Anyway, because it's made from cane, it can be drank and is by the desperate. On election days, the winos come out of the culverts and hit the drug
stores for caña since it isn't restricted from sale.
Good stuff.

because everclear is very low in congeners (this is the stuff that gives you the hangover) this very pure alcohol that is flavorless is excellent for
making a number of delicious fruit flavored c-cktails. obviously you dont want to drink this stuff straight as you wouldnt 151 rum, yet no body mf"s
bacardi!
sure its ridculously strong but how about using 1/2 AS MUCH?
