hard liquor or beer?

Everclear isn’t illegal in most states; only in some. If you happen to have some, mix it half and half with lemon gatorade and add some red bull; the resulting “Tucker Death Mix” actually tastes surprisingly good for something that’s stronger than most hard liqour.

Also, most absinthe I’ve seen runs between 140 and 160 proof, not 170 - with that said, it tastes like a much higher proof because of how bitter it is.

Fun fact: Why is everclear only 190 proof and not 200? Because if it is any stronger it will suck water out of the air and go down to 190 proof. The only way to get higher purity ethanol is through either the addition of benzene (which renders it undrinkable, obviously) or through complicated chemistry.
