    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.”
