Ok, my story….
Playing at our annual pig roast with my band back then, I stashed a pint of Everclear in the mic box for later. Came back to get something out of the box and noticed it was almost completely gone. I thought the top had come off, but no wetness in the box. Then unnoticed the guitar player was acting a little more zany than usual. Sure enough, he subscribed to the notion that “just one sip wouldn’t hurt”. Unfortunately, he must’ve forgotten about the one sip part, and kept going back to get another mic, or chord, or pedal, until he couldn’t remember how many sips it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop. It wasn’t one, it wasn’t two, and apparently it wasn’t tha-ree!!

We would mix it with fruit punch and fruit chunks in a cooler. We called it hooch. I did bring a bottle to our h.s. graduation party to pass around. I drank beer and offered swigs to people. The puking part is true. Got quite a few of em to hurl lol.
And it make a cool show to spit it out over a lighter. Burned my lips a little but it brought the crowd.

I agree!! Bacardi 151 was my drink of choice till they discontinued it. 151 is nothing next to everclear. Everclear is not a drink, it's a poison and octane booster for your car!! LOL

If I were to make a list titled "Things I don't miss from my younger days", hooch like this would top that
very short list. Thank God, I never developed a taste (or a fascination) for "hard stuff" in general and for
the last 35 years or so, it also assumed the head of the "stuff that will kill me" list as well (medical reasons
- I have too many holes in me innards
).
Now, beer? I will admit a certain fondness for that brew...
Wine, well - that stuff always made me nauseus. Nasty crap.
