Everclear

Re: Everclear

Back in the day, when I was stationed at Wichita Falls,TX me and about three buddies bought a bottle of Everclear and three large pizzas. I am a good sized guy (6'5/275), and needless to say I put away a whole pizza and a half by myself. We were getting ready to go clubbing, and I wanted to turn the bottle up so I wouldn't have to buy drinks at the club. I did, and they were like "Dude stop, dude stop now." I drank roughly 1/4 of the bottle and proceeded to the club. This girl that I liked started dancing with me, and I started to feel sick. I told her I needed to go, and she said she would walk me home (we lived in the same dorm). After climbing the three flights of stairs, I was feeling bad. I started running towards my room, but about half way down the hall I started to puke, and continued to puke for about 100 feet. I felt like a big jerk, but I went and passed out by the toilet in my room. The girl came to my room and kept a wet rag on my head and slept beside me to make sure I was o.k. The next morning as I was showering, she joined me and we began an awesome four month, sex filled relationship.
EVERCLEAR RULES!

I was stationed at Shepard AFB also, WAY BACK in the day.A long time ago Me and a friend had a shot(or was it two shots?) in a large 180 Octane daiquiri and both of us could only finish about two thirds of the drink.

Re: Everclear

My first experience with everclear was my junior year of high school at some bonfire. Trying to be the cool, macho guy, someone offered me a bottle and said "here, go for it", so I started chugging. After four or five gulps, I stopped only to have my face, throat, and chest burning. Everyone just kinda stared and started to laugh. For the next two or three hours I just sat on a fold out chair oblivious to the world. Good times.

Acutally, everclear became my drink of choice for the next few years, but I havent touched it in the last seven years or so, for whatever reason. Its always tempting to get a bottle, but I usually stick to my vodka and red bull. Kinda curious as to how red bull and everclear would mix though....

I'm thinking everclear and red bull would not have positive results...for anyone.

Re: Everclear

Well everyone has a good/bad experience with some sort of alcohol, so this might as well be your first. Just try not to impress anyone and chug the whole thing or u might want to have your death bed ready. I've been drinking for a while and trained with the best. The best advice I ever got is "If the stuff you’re drinking is going to eventually kill you, you might as well buy the good stuff and enjoy a good drink." Also "If you can light the stuff on fire, run away from it" and "If you take a shot of something and your mouth feels like it went through a treatment of Listerine, then stay away from it." As Flanders once said "Godspeed little doodle."
Peace!!!

I was a "Disbursement Accounting Specialist" (Military Pay Clerk). Shepperd was my tech school. I was stationed there about 3 months. Coincidentally I had relatives that lived in Wichita Falls at the time.

Jägermeister is about the only shot I take nowadays, unfortunately it's usually more than one shot. If I drink it I usually forgo too much beer and just chase it with ice water, to avoid a bad experience.

Re: Everclear

I used to drink it. There's an entire Primus concert I paid good money to see...that I don't remember...thanks to Everclear mixed with Gatorade. I remember we bought one of those 32 ounce bottles of Gatorade, poured half the Gatorade out, and filled it with Everclear. I drank the whole thing before we went in for the show. Bad move.

That was when I was either 17 or 18 years old. I never really tried it in my adult years, mostly because I am afraid of it.

Honestly, half of a 32 oz Gatorade poured out and filled half back up with Everclear easily should have killed you at that age.

I mix a half filled 32 oz Gatorade with clear Rum and that smashes me right there, could not even comprehend the half Everclear!

I do that with 100 proof vodka...

and someone mentioned absinthe, it's not that great, probably just the ritual and mythology that hypes it up.

Re: Everclear

Yep, my first experience with alcohol involved Everclear. Let's say it wasn't a pretty sight. Had about 5-10 drinks with it in the drinks (I don't quite remember) plus about 10 beers or so, and I was puking all night and the next morning. Definitely wasn't fun.

Then I go to college in Washington and it's illegal there. So everytime I'd go back to Montana with my buddies, they'd want to pick up some Everclear to bring back to school.

What we'd do is mix it in a tub with fruit and different fruit juices and stuff. The drinks weren't too potent, but as others have said, stay away from the fruit. That isht is scary.

Re: Everclear

Using Gatorade as a chaser will do enough damage with regular liquor. I can imagine what it would do with e-clear.

I remember some of my frat brothers and I mixed "bat juice" (bicardi) with blue gatorade (our colors are royal blue and pure white) and went to a probate show.

Talk about twisted!
