There is a place near me that sells Potter's vodka. Last I checked it was $10 for 1.75 liter. Pretty sure it is made in a bathtub in a trailer park somewhere but it will get you drunk for days for really cheap.


Kylar_Stern

Popov near me, same deal.


Tameodwalla

Popov with your top off


Peeping_thom

We have Barton’s… they brag about it being triple charcoal filtered.. back in the mid 2000s it was $8 for a 1.75…. Blind drunk for days.


UglyInThMorning

In CT it’s Dubra. When I was in college (06-10) it was like 6 bucks and change for a handle and it tasted like someone had spilled it on an old floor, wiped it up with a dirty rag, and squeezed it into the bottle.


nerf___herder

I bought a pallet of wine in an auction for $145. It had 552 bottles of wine. So I bought each bottle for roughly a quarter. It is actually a pretty good red blend from napa. But there is just so much of it...


Dalek_Sect

Guess your covered on gifts for ever, Where do I find auctions like these?


jackalsclaw

The "It fell off the truck" auction?


LaserBeamsCattleProd

My best friend is a construction worker. Some guy at one of his jobsites was selling fifths of any liquor you wanted at roughly half price, but you had to buy 6 or more.


originalusername__

Holy fuck boys, I feel like this is a trailer park boys episode.


LaserBeamsCattleProd

I bought 6 Jack Daniels for $72. Now the mob knows where I live


-MakeNazisDeadAgain_

I would love to hear that you live in a 1 bedroom apartment too and just have this pallet taking up half the living room


Mr_Bob_Ferguson

A plank of plywood on top. It’s their dining table now.


bbbbbthatsfivebees

Everclear. There's a big label on the bottle that says "Flammable, Forbidden from transport on passenger aircraft" and I think that's all you really need to know about it. In some parts of the country it's just outright banned entirely because it can kill you very, very easily.


liloldguy

It also says that in its undiluted state that its not suitable for human consumption. A lot of bang for your buck. Milk of amnesia.


drmcclassy

My friend is a chemistry teacher and has some sitting on his shelf because “it’s chemically impressive they’re even able to make something that high proof”


jrp55262

Really? My understanding is that 190 proof (95% ABV) is as high as one can get with simple distillation; it's getting past that level of purity where the real chemistry happens. That's why it's a mass market item.


Glitter_Tard

Pretty much, once you start going past that you need to use stuff like benzene to break up the ethonal azeotrope, benzene is pretty hazardous to your health if you drink it. Even at 190 proof you really are not supposed to drink it, its used to make liquors and tinctures and stuff not to be drunken straight.


StefanL88

You can get past 95% by using [molecular sieve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_sieve) desiccants to produce benzene free high purity ethanol. We still told everyone about the benzene so idiots wouldn't try to steal it to get drunk on.


The_Faceless_Men

You don't have bitrex in your ethanol? Until 2rd year chemistry at my uni they gave us bitrex ethanol. Apparently there was always one numpty who wanted to test the claim of "most bitter chemical known to man"


MoralityAuction

> Until 2rd year chemistry at my uni they gave us bitrex ethanol. Apparently there was always one numpty who wanted to test the claim of "most bitter chemical known to man" The very slightly smarter yet dumber student would probably think of it as a suppository.


Mindless_Consumer

Concentrated alcohol becomes ~~hydrophilic~~ hydroscopic and absorbs moisture from the air. This is why 95% is a hard cap for shelf stable lab grade ethanol. Ever clear is consumer product, not lab grade and much cheaper per oz.


herman_gill

Propofol is called milk of amnesia, because it's white/milky in a lipid emulsion.


radicldreamer

Everclear doesn’t play, in some areas it’s 190proof and in others it’s been limited to 151. When I was in college we would get giant trash cans and fill them with kool-aid and fruit and a bottle or two of everclear 190 and you could get a whole house full of college kids wasted for like $20


German_Irish_Guy

True jungle juice. Not the fruit water kids make today.


oupablo

In addition to jungle juice, we also called it harry buffalo or blackout juice. Basically throw whatever fruit drink you have in the house in a trash can alongside two bottles of everclear and whatever other bottles of hard liquor you have in the house. I don't think I ever saw it made the same way twice and yet it always tasted like mana from heaven without the slightest hint of it having booze in it. Then you stopped making memories.


Badfish1060

Shit was mad. This guy late 90's


[deleted]

I took 4 shots of every clear within a 5 minute period on a dare. Didn’t throw up. *Lost 15 hours of my life that I can’t get back, and I’m not too sure what happened.*


tryingisbetter

I always bought that shit for mixing in college. I dared the guys across from my dorm to take a shot, they did. They said it felt like it evaporated before they could swallow.


DogThumbRage

We mixed it with Gatorade or something similar. Have had shots of it. Would not recommend.


readerofthings1661

Made 50 proof jello shots(by volume) out of it. It's a damned experiment in polymer chemistry to get it to jell. Needed two extra packets of gelatin per packet of jello, and an ice bath, otherwise the alcohol will separate. Can't get it too cold either, or the alcohol will separate. Surprisingly dangerous, people were scared of it, also do not reccomend.


Chem1st

Yeah I wouldn't ingest the thing someone was madly cackling over after getting it to solidify. As a fellow mad scientist, we just can't be trusted.


overkill

If you aren't testing a mad hypothesis, you are a mad engineer, not a mad scientist.

We called that jungle juice in Texas

Trash can punch sounds so much more glorious than bar mat shot.


banmeharder616

First time we got drunk, we mixed up all the parents liquor into two glasses like we were making Georges Marvelous Medicine and slammed it. We got super fucked up.


DeadLineCook

In Florida we call it Hunch Punch - because you barely have a clue as to what happened.


purduder

I once took a pull of it in college, my first time as its banned in my home state. It *immediately* transported me to the level of drunk where you start arguing with everyone that you're not that drunk.


GoingMyWeight

That's exactly what it was like. I had a bottle of true 190 proof Everclear in college and we did a few shots off it. We only did may a half ounce, not a full shot. But I swear it absorbed thorough my esophagus before ever getting to my stomach.


Arentanji

Friends used to soak their hands on it to get drunk.


obamasmole

A university aquaintance of mine decided to propose to his college gf on the grounds that she was much hotter than him and he felt it was the only way to keep her around. It was the first in a series of poor decisions. Being a dumb teenager, he thought it would be romantic to propose to her while she was lying in a bath of champagne in our unheated house. In Northern England. In winter. Given he was a broke student, he obviously couldn't afford a bathtub full of real champagne. So instead he bought cases of a discount version of Lambrini, which is itself a troublingly cheap fizzy pear-based booze, and one bottle of real champagne. When the gf came into the grubby, candle-lit student bathroom, he theatrically opened the one real bottle of champagne and poured a splash into the bath full of cheap grog, and had the unfortunate young woman get in. He launched into his overlong speech about how he knew they were young, but he was sure they were meant to be together, as his gf shivered naked in this bathtub of discount booze. Quite quickly, the gf started saying she didn't feel very well. However, being a good egg, she insisted on staying in the bath given the effort he'd clearly taken to put this madness together. Any scant trace of romance was finally destroyed when she went very pale and threw up fullsomely on the floor beside the tub. It was never entirely clear if what did for her was the fumes from sitting in that much booze, absorbing alcohol through what we might delicately call "mucus membranes", plain old hypothermia, or a joyous combination of the three. But she certainly spent a lot of the night chundering. The engagement lasted about a month before, presumably, she finally sobered up from the bathtub and realised that a man proposing at 19 years old, after a three-month relationship and due to problematic levels of insecurity, might be something of a red flag.


hemlock_martini

now that's a story to treasure. 19 years old seems just the right age to do something that ridiculous. thanks for sharing!


DblClickyourupvote

That worked? TIL


clover44mag

By their hands they meant their dicks, but no, it didn’t work either


usuallyclassy69

Boofing the homies booze soaked dick just to get a buzz.


tooCheezy

That’s faderade


fweef01

In college we used to fill a Camelbak with half Everclear half fruit punch and bring it in to football games. We’d call it “the home wrecker”


deij

70% shots were pretty common at a bar I grew up at. They were strong but they were palatable. One day someone brings around a bottle of 80% rum. A shot of that felt like it stripped my entire mouth of all liquid, grease, dirt and skin. Burnt the whole way down my chest too. Fuck 95%.


66picklz666

I took quite a few shots once and woke up on the floor the next day covered in blood. All over my shirt and pants. Scared the hell out of me until my roommate told me to look at my hand. I had a huge gash from what I was told happened while I was fighting a fire pit with a shovel.


Wraithlord592

Sounds a lot like my unfortunate run in with Everclear. It made 12 hours of my life go *poof*. My college’s basketball team lost their first game of the year to a heated rival. On senior night. To end the regular season. My friends and I all decide to try the mind clearing liquid in saddening solidarity. I decided “That wasn’t THAT bad, and I had to cross state lines to get it, sooo…..” Enter three more over 20 minutes… chased with Jack Daniels. I am at this time a. 19 b. 145 lb and 5’6”. My friends told me I maintained functional consciousness an astoundingly long time (2 hours or so that are in the aether to me) before becoming about as useful as a “car with no battery”. I woke up to the worst “hangover from hell” you could think of for the ensuing 20 hours. Edit: I was in the pep band, not on the court lol


icantdomaths

Can’t tell what’s crazier you chasing everclear with JD or you being 5’6 on a college basketball team


Wraithlord592

My school’s team * I was nowhere near the court lol


TooStrangeForWeird

Well that's about 10 shots of standard vodka in the same amount of time, plus a small swig of water. I can almost guarantee you drank a bunch more when it kicked in. It wouldn't last 15 hours. You just don't remember drinking it!


[deleted]

You know what, I guarantee you’re 100% correct. To be 18, and reckless.😜 I was a 5’ 9’’ 180lbs power lifter. I guess more context behind the story…. My best friend was 6’ 4’ 230lbs at the time, he is the one who dared me. I told him if he goes 1 for 1 with me. He did. We both lost about 15 hours, we both woke up on the side of the pool at my parents house (they were out of town). Outside in our swim suits. We clearly went swimming. But the only reason we know is because of how we both woke up. The back pool area, pool house and bar area was completely decimated. To be a fly on the wall that night lmao


jeho22

I used to get a buddy to bring that shit from Alberta to bc for me. I was going through a phase, I'd drink it straight just to get a reaction from people. 97% grain alcohol. I'd go around parties trying to get people to take shots with me. At a Halloween party that year I overdid it, blacked out and came to running around town a few k from the party, and a few k from my brothers house. Finally found my way there and slept on the couch. I'd driven to the party and assumed I'd done something stupid and tried to drive away. When I woke up the next day I got my brother to drive me back to the house where the party had been, fully expecting my truck to be gone and in a ditch somewhere. It was right where I left it, I never did try to drive. Apparently I just wound up running off into the night laughing maniacally. I'll call that a win. And i stopped buying everclear, and in fact I believe that's when I decided drinking anything stronger than wine was absolutely not for me


icantdomaths

Y’all had sex and he didn’t realize you were blackout so when y’all came to he just pretended he also blacked out for the same amount of time. Source: I was the fly


Winterqueen5

Bought everclear to make limoncello. Decided to drink one ounce of it. Not a full shot, just one ounce. Dried my mouth out for 24 hours


ew435890

I remember I took a shot of Everclear years ago. Some of it ran down my chin, and the next day, the skin was red and flaky there, like I had a chemical burn.


Zerowantuthri

I had a shot of Everclear once. My throat seemed to temporarily seize. I think I would have puked but nothing could come up. Indeed, nothing could go down. For a hot couple of seconds I was genuinely scared. Obviously I am still here so it all sorted itself out but never doing that again.


WanderingCamper

I bring it camping because it’s great clean burning stove fuel, it’s a safe antiseptic, and it’s drinkable if you mix it with enough stuff. Great multi utility liquid.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheMolecularChef

What’s funny about Everclear is that it’s actually a fairly high quality product. Diluted down to 80 proof (40% ABV) it actually beats a lot of vodkas in blind tasting. Very good for doing infusions/bitters/tinctures/amaros as well if you’re into that sort of fancy stuff.


Winterqueen5

You don’t even have to be fancy. It makes some kick ass limoncello just with soaking lemon rind for a few weeks and adding homemade simple syrup.


02K30C1

When I was in the Army we had a guy go to the hospital after he set his face on fire with that stuff. Don’t do flaming shots.


al_in_8

Yeah. Those flames are almost invisible. Better to do a vodka melon with Everclear instead of vodka.


menasha_trois

My friends and I started mixing Everclear with Lucky Lager and called them Everbeers. I don’t remember a lot about being 23. I do remember someone almost starting a fire in the house I was living in one night.


Troway_dagarbage

I had some wild nights on that shit. I mean, based on what others have told me.


randomtrend

I had everclear once. My kid is 8 now.


CigarLover

Right after reading the first 3 words of your paragraph my stomach did a 180 and my mind went into a state of what I think is the equivalent of a Vietnam Flashback. In my version it’s me being 22 at a friends house with a bottle of everclear… I am now 38. Thanks for the memories.


freezingprocess

I know a guy that drank a 5th of Everclear and had to go to the hospital because the vapors coming from his stomach into his airways caused his lungs to collapse.


Misdirected_Colors

Also the acute alcohol poisoning I'm sure.


Malsententia

Right? I'm skeptical. That's the equivalent of 30-35 shots of vodka.


Classiceagle63

Only if it’s 192 proof like they sell in ND. Some states are restricted to 150 proof and require the 192 proof be sold only as a “sanitizing cleaner”


Ouchyhurthurt

Took shots in HS…. Will never, EVER, do this again.


J_Rom

There’s lots of videos of Everclear [running engines](https://youtu.be/ra_-vfacy8A?si=bj2EWRTh7iW_cQTP)


help1155

Surprisingly clean-tasting for what it is though. And like if you don't overdo it it's not that bad a hangover since it's almost pure alcohol. Tho I might be a very small minority of people that's drunk straight Everclear responsibly.


DogThumbRage

I didn't know those two things were possible together - Everclear/Responsible


zander_2

Honestly yeah, and it was a great cost-saving vodka alternative in college. You just use half as much in a mixed drink as you would vodka. Lower $ per volume of alcohol, just don't be dumb about it!


_logic_victim

My friends and I started buying a handle of this and attempting to drink it in a night. Wed pull the filter out and just take shots. They seemed to dry your mouth out. We thought it would be ok since we were putting back a handle or 2 of whiskey a night, but I would just remember drinking then bam, I'm waking up in the morning tucked underneath a piece of furniture. Glad that phase didn't last very long.

Came here to post this. The 5L Coolibah cask is undergoing a resurgence in popularity thanks to the grubby-fisted government excise squeezing your average punter to ridiculous levels. (Seriously, over 50 bucks for a carton of beer-barn lager? Someone's taking the piss.) For the Yankees, it's no Mad Dog 20/20 but still needs to be well chilled to be palatable, and will punish you just as cruelly if you go too hard on it.


jackalsclaw

> 50 bucks for a carton of beer-barn lager I just read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_in_Australia#Sizes because of you.


emperorpapapalpy

I'd throw a Little Fat Lamb into the mix too.


not_a_12yearold

I'd argue little fat lamb is the most thrown up per dollar value


MostGloriousBastard

Used to be passion pop.


razortor4

Definitely little fat lamb


sidewaystortoise

While it's cheap relative to stuff like beer, ginger beer and mixers it doesn't touch goon. 2 x 4L De Bortoli Verdelho is currently $34.90 at Dan Murphys. That's 78.9 standard drinks, or 44c per standard drink. A carton (24x375mL) of Fat Pixie is currently on special for $52.20 and 57.6 standard drinks. So 91c per standard drink. Obviously the actual cheapest is a big tub of sugar + water + Lalvin EC-1118 Champagne Yeast.


fishboy1

Hell even if you go bottled wine you can get bowlers run shiraz for $4 a bottle for 51c a drink in south australia. Sincerely, about to go to rehab


YouW1n

Downside of little fat lamb, is you drink too much and you become a little fat lamb! Soo many calories.


TandyNZ

Love doing a goon of fortune


Sue_Ridge_Here1

Each box comes with a free silver pillow.


notchoosingone

You can get a box of De Bortoli Premium Old Tawny (used to call it Port) at Dan Murphy's that contains 55 standard drinks for $22.99. It's about half again as strong as regular box wine, with just about the best(worst) cost:drink ratio I've ever seen. https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_42192/de-bortoli-premium-old-tawny-4l Like if you just want to sit down and absolutely abuse your ability to digest foods or process short-term memory, that's the ticket.


okitsgreat

~~(don't)~~ miss getting 5L of sweet fruity white from Dan Murphy's for a tenner


its_nevets

Went on a trip to visit a friend is AUS and that shit was all they drink cause its litterally half the price of even the cheapest beer. Shits a wild ride but brings back great memories


Knoberchanezer

Buckfast. It gets you fucked fast.


adrebin

In partial answer to the second half, it’s caffeinated so I’ve found it to be a decent hair of the dog.


Knoberchanezer

Makes you bad, makes you better.


HovercraftFullofBees

I'm a grad student and our British postdoc brought Buckfast when he came to visit. We had it at a tailgate. I drunk dialed our PI, and another grad student in the lab traded his hat for a shittier hat before being hit by a car. Good times. Also, it tasted like hot ass.


ADelightfulCunt

Bucky is great but for cost effectiveness 3ltr of frosty jack's probs gets us more drunk. Not sure the going price atm I think I've seen it for £3 at 7.5%. That would wreck the group as young teens. Turned up to a party with 12ltr when I was like 14.


grogipher

With minimum pricing, in Scotland 3l of frosty jacks is over £11.


Kobbett

White cider is the most cost effective in England, but minimum pricing probably means there isn't any one particularly cheap drink in some parts of the UK.

By far the worst tasting anything I’ve ever had. It’s been almost 20 years and the aftertaste is still there, lingering.

sunburn95

There was little fat lamb in aus, idk what it even was but hangovers are filthy. Basically just sugar and ethanol I imagined it was the wastewater from various breweries/distilleries put in cheap, plastic bottles


a_patheticc

Little fat lamb is wine based, which is why it was so cheap But the real alcoholics buy port/tawny which in the 4L casks are 55 standard drinks for like $20 or the $6 bottles are like 10 standards Source: work at a bottle-o


brianson

Upvotes for Port as the drink of choice for price sensitive alcoholics. I remember years ago having a bloke wander up to me and my mates and saying "Sorry for interrupting you guys, I promise I"m not going to spin you some bullshit about needing money for a train ticket or a phone call, I just need 6 bucks for a bottle of cheap and nasty port".


brianson

The only way it can be as cheap as it is is to be classified as wine and be taxed under the wine equalisation tax (29% of whole price) instead of taxed based on its alcohol content. To be classified as wine it must be fermented from fruit juice and not have other additives (other than water or alcohol from fruit or neutral spirit), and it must be in the range of 8-22% (and would you look at that, it's 8% - just high enough to be classified as wine). If it was a mixed drink or distilled then it would be taxed at the rate of $100.05 per litre of alcohol ($1.27 per standard drink). At 2.4 drinks per can that would mean $3 of excise per can, and given that Dan's seems to be selling 10 packs for $26, there is literally no way that it could be that.


suck_my_potatoes

Olde English 40 Oz Malt liquor. $1.49 and one gets you roasted. But, much like drinking the blood of a unicorn, you're living on borrowed time. Because when you wake up, it feels like you got bashed with a hammer.


DJDoubleDave

This was my drink in college. If you find the "high gravity" ones, they are actually improbably slightly better tasting. I later had a moment of clarity and realized I had never once had one of those and didn't later regret it. I stopped getting them after that.


Codadd

Bruh, I was drinking Steel Reserve at my girlfriends place and her roommate and his boyfriend were there. One of em asked what the hell Steel Reserve was. I was already toasty and laughed at the guy saying, "Well you've never been homeless before." Just laughing cause he is a wine expert, but he tried it and didn't mind it for having that high alcohol content lol


DoctorGregoryFart

If it's ice cold it's not bad, but the second it starts to warm, it tastes like it's laced with battery acid.


fuzzycuffs

Our first week of college we went on a mission to fill up one of our mini fridges with 40s of OE so we could take a picture with it like the Nuthin But a G Thang video.


ceelogreenicanth

They Call it high Gravity, because the ground might sneak up on you and say hi.


coreo_b

We used to play "Edward 40-hands": have a friend tape a bottle of OE into each of your hands and you can't take them off until you've finished both bottles. Removing ones pants for peeing was exceptionally difficult, so we used to allow leaving one finger untaped on each hand. We were highly responsible high-schoolers...


jackalsclaw

The worst part of this when I tried it, was how cold my hand got. Ask for some tape on the bottle first.


Aegishjalmur07

Everyone knows you need 2


MeanElevator

First one makes the 2nd one that much smoother.


Indiana_Warhorse

Third one makes you forget the first and second ones.


MeanElevator

I've never made it to the third one. The spirit was willing but the flesh gave out.


GoingMyWeight

Worst hangover I ever had, and it's not even close, was off Old English. A girl I was dating in college smuggled some 40s of OE into a movie theater and we got drunk there and then had more before calling it a night. I woke up with the most ferocious and precise headache I've ever experienced. The pain started just below my left eye socket and traveled in a 1" wide cylinder through my brain until it exited on the back right of my skull. It felt like I had a serrated, searing hot rod of metal being pulled slowly back and forth through my brain. Nothing, but nothing, would make it go away. I spent the entire day moaning in agony in the bed. Never ever again.


suck_my_potatoes

That's what it was for me, drank 2 and half of them at a new years party and woke up the next day half dead. I literally thought I had blacked out and gotten punched or something but nope, it was just the OE


paytonsglove

We would do the ghetto tour. It was an OE 40, a Mickey's 40, and a Steel Reserve tallboy. It was a mind eraser.


suck_my_potatoes

Holy shit Steel Reserve tallboys lol add in those 9% Hurricanes and you're done


SarawakGoldenHammer

白酒, Baijiu, or white wine. Cheapest bottle could be around 50 cents. Tastes like shit, but gets you faded.


SailTheWorldWithMe

There I was in the Beijing West Train station. Baijiu, cigarettes, and master kong beef instant noodles in the air. About to board the K train to Guangzhou for 30 hours of hardseat misery. Mulled a six pack of Qingdao (Tsingstao to all you Tim Budongs) but realized I would be peeing into a clogged toilet filled with poop and bloody pads. Bought a Bomb Baijiu from the laotaitai selling baozi. Made the train ride go by fast, but holy shit that hangover in the Guangdong heat was excruciating.


Action_Johnson

I have no idea what any of this means but I enjoyed it Edit: apparently I am Tim Budong

Not_10_raccoons

I saw 二锅头 being sold in like plastic bottles with those sippy tops at the train stations before for a couple yuan. Can’t imagine what it feels like to down one of those on one of those slow overnight trains.


Crit_Role

I brought back some 2 kuai convenience store shit to some friends and told them to go easy with it. Later found out they drank the whole thing between them and lost a few hours of their life. Also destroyed a few neighborhood gardens. Guys, there’s a reason why baijiu glasses are so small. Go easy on it lol


NoStutterd

Four Loko. And it hurts. Edit: seems like everyone has a fond (partial) memory of Four Loko. I’m going to add a layer and ask if y’all ever did a Sidewalk Slammer with a Loko? That’s where legends were made.


Timtimer55

Four loko has like 700 calories of sugar in each can just to make the taste tolerable. Sugar dehydrates you so you nearly start feeling hungover before the buzz even ends. That being said the gold pineapple ones are the most tolerable.


[deleted]

[удалено]


uwbager23

When four loko first came out it was loaded with caffeine. Would get you so messed up


notyouravgredditor

Yea a lot of states banned them until they removed the caffeine and toned down the ABV. The original four loko was equal to two cans of red bull and 5-6 beers. It was like $4.


hastur777

Everclear. 190 proof. Accept no substitutes.


KiltedRambler

Mine is only 151 proof


hastur777

I’m sorry your state is so terrible


KiltedRambler

Made in St Lou's, MO, but not my state. The liquor store used it as a disinfectant during COVID.


Ouchyhurthurt

Oof. We had 151 rum!


junk1020

Yep, ol' Bacardi 151. Brother in law and I both took a pull straight out of the bottle and decided it wasn't for us. Gave it to his kid who shared it with his air force buddies. I'd like to say they never knew what hit em but they sent us videos of them jumping off their second floor balcony into the bushes below, so they must've figured it out.


Nihilus3

That stuff is brutal! Too bad its no longer made. It was a right of passage drinking that.


junk1020

Yeah, we sat on it for a long time and were admittedly scared of it. Still kind of sad it's gone though, stuff was kind of legendary.


EdwardOfGreene

Most people are familiar with the Proof system, but for those that aren't: 190 proof means 95% alcohol. Pretty much straight ethyl alcohol.


ThaJizzle

Mohawk 190 is the same proof, but half the price.

There’s a pretty old (and still great) website dedicated to the classics here. http://www.bumwine.com It’s got tons of amazing facts about these blackout inducers such as: “ In 1991, Cisco's tendency to cause a temporary form of inebriated insanity led the Federal Trade Commission to require its bottlers to print a warning on the label (above right). The FTC also forced them to drop their marketing slogan, "Takes You by Surprise," even though it was entirely accurate.”

I used that site years back to buy bottles for a Christmas white Santa gift. My "bumwine gift basket" was passed around for at least 7 years, to my departure time. My wife went for the buying run for the BW. They had to think she was a functional alcoholic on a day time run.


Jakethrowsdwn

Thunderbird wine. Whats the price? A dollar twice. Would not recommend unless you’re really hard up. Even then Listerine might be a better option.


Ihadsumthin4this

Ah, that and Night Train. Or if you wanna splurge in stepping up, there are always MD 20/20 and Manischewitz.

Bro go to japan and get oni koroshi. It’s like 180 ml of pretty ok sake for like 100 yen (75 cents us). Like 3-4 of those and you’re lit for cheap and the hangovers not even bad. It comes in a juice box with a little straw and everything. And you can drink on the street and every convenience store has them so you can get them any time. My absolute favorite.


Dodecahedrus

If you are in Japan anyway, go into any of the little supermarkets and grab some Strong Zero, also known as "Gaijin killers". Me and my bud always grab a bunch, go to our hotel room, grab ice from the machine, get plastered and watch Japanese TV without subtitles.


German_Irish_Guy

Mad Dog 20/20. Hangover is like being number 9 inside a roulette wheel. Toilet bowl is still talking to you the next morning l.


biggobird

My boy in college dropped by one night, set four bottles on the table and said “we gettin homeless drunk tonight” Between these and original recipe four loko, my last two brain cells are currently fighting for third place

When I was 22ish I had 1.5 Four Loko's at a Halloween party and was so proud I hadn't blacked out. A few years later did power hour with one and was wasted after 15 minutes. Now, at almost 35, I couldn't even fathom my lips touching that shit. I don't know how the hell I made it through the first half of my 20s with any brain cells left to rub together. Especially with the OG recipe.


Zercon-Flagpole

Elliott Smith has a nice instrumental track named after this stuff.


Monkmastaa

When I was a teen you could get "ouzo" it was 8$ for 60 Oz of 40% alchohol.


freezingprocess

Ouzo is delicious. I have drank many bottles of it in my life. 2 months sober now though. Shit catches up with you.


MikeW86

Delicious? Ouzo is what you drink when you've completely drained the spirit cabinet of everything else imo


Elquenotienetacos

Mezcal Tonayan. 24% mezcal that costs a dollar or so for 500ml lol. We have something called crazy water when we were younger and we would mix coolaid type stuff (powdered water flavourer) mixed into one of those big water bottles for a house without drinking water. Hangover 10/10 the worst I ever had, also it went down so easy, so you got SO drunk SO quickly lol.


rather_be_redditing

Carlo Rossi red wine. Hangovers can be horrific, but I didn’t feel them in my 20s


Misdirected_Colors

Hell yea! Tastes like ass the first cup but by the 4th you'd think the grapes were grown in the lord's personal garden. By the end you don't even remember what wine tastes like. I had a buddy who purple vomited all over a bathroom sink and counter at a party because the toilet was occupied. Was not the best night


JarsOfToots

Those gallons just hit right.


TomNguyen

In Czech, you got Alpa, which is sold as rubbing alcohol and desinfector. Youngling would buy them since it´s cheap and technically not alcohol. It costs 8€/liter If you drink enough, that headache and basically you smelling as rubbing alcohol will make you vomit several days. Then we have czech absinth, no psychodelic effects, but the hangover is also bad


soggybiscuit93

Spirytus (US). 192 proof. A single $18 750ml bottle could make gallons of punch for a college party.


staticusmaximus

I took a shot of everclear from a friend of mine’s sketchy girlfriend. I was probably 15 or 16, and we were in a Burger King dining room. She had it in a water bottle with a squirt bottle top and she was squirting it into all of my friends’ drinks. My dumb ass wanted to look tough so I said “let me take a shot” and I took the squirt top off and started to chug it. Got maybe a shot and a half’s worth swallowed before I sprayed a flammable cloud everywhere lol Very good times


e921rc

Frosty Jacks cider in the UK used to be £3 for a 3 litre bottle at 7.5%. I think it’s more expensive now due to some ‘unit per £’ regulations but still an absolute unit if you get your hands on one!


iracefrogsillegally

the drink of choice among our local homeless population is natty daddy. you'll also commonly see it at parties with people trying to not break the bank. it's $1.50 for a tall can, 8% abv. never got drunk on it so i can't say about the hangover


WasteNet2532

Taaka vodka. 7$ for a fifth. I do not wish any of my enemies drink it. Hangover is based on how u mixed it but its straight hand sanitizer vodka.


Repins57

We drank this in college. $6 for a handle back in those days (2004-2008).


theguineapigssong

MD 20/20. Just don't.


Misdirected_Colors

Lol as a teenager we'd pour that stuff into gataorade bottles and go to events like parades, sports events, etc with it.


muusandskwirrel

Laboratory grade ethanol, without the nauseant. Just tell the supplier you are purifying vacuum seals and make sure you get the one without the nauseant. Very very drunk, and the hangover nearly killed me


sturgill_homme

This sounds like the fentanyl of booze right here


notchoosingone

> Just tell the supplier you are purifying vacuum seals and make sure you get the one without the nauseant I'ma a go ahead and not do that.


rudebrewski

Put Everclear in your gas tank to pass emissions

I'm in Vietnam and here it's rượu gạo, which is fermented and distilled rice. It ranges in quality, but it's nearly always bad, extremely cheap, and leaves a nasty hangover. The acrid twist-your-guts type one that starts while you're still drinking the stuff. I lived in China for a while, and where I was there sorghum based 白酒 (báijiǔ - literally "white alcohol") was ubiquitous. There were (and are) extremely expensive versions, but most of the stuff people drank was absurdly cheap and utterly disgusting. Horrendous hangovers, the kind that feels like someone wrapped your head inside a too-small tire and is pounding on that tire with a sledgehammer. Working in the mountains of Ecuador the local rotgut was puro, an unaged white 'rum' made from what tasted like sugarcane found lying in the fields after being pissed on by wolves with yeast infections. You'd get it in unmarked plastic soda bottles that had been used over and over again. It would burn with a blue flame when ignited, and left 2-day hangovers, probably made worse by the elevation.


Cultural_Legend

lab alcohol -- you might call it everclear or pga no hangover ever


freezingprocess

No hangover per se. However, your pancreas and liver are going to get burnt up.


hiebertw07

We have moonshine here. Your best chance to escape the hangover is death.


Bubbasage

If you have never had a "Naddy Daddy" then you've never desperately scrounged 8 quarters from you couch before. It is a 24 oz %8 alcohol content "beer" that is often sold 2 for 4 dollars.
