World's strongest alcohols

This article is about some of world strongest alcohols liquors. Everclear, absinthe, vodka, whiskey,  gim and rum.

Everclear
Everclear is a potent type of grain alcohol, that is available at concentrations of 75.5% alcohol and unbelievable 95% alcohol (190 proof, the highest proof alcohol that can exist without evaporating). Just to compare with some other hard liquors such as rum and vodka, which typically contain 40%–60% alcohol.
Because of hes strength it became popular amongst college students.
Its banned in some states, but in those where is legal to buy it, you can find him in 750ml bottle for just over $20, what is very good price for hes strength.
Everclear is commonly added to a variety of other drinks, such as soft drinks, energy drinks, fruit juice, and iced tea. Everclear is also used in cooking because alcohol extracts flavors exceptionally well. It is used to make custom liqueurs such as rosé or limoncello. It is infused with fruit and then diluted with simple syrup to 30% alcohol


Absinthe
Absinthe is also one strong alcohol drink, with 50%-75% of alcohol. Actual content varies by brand. For example Hills Absinth and King of Spirits Absinth a contains 70%. 
Most absintheurs drink absinthe the traditional way: louched with water poured over a cube of white sugar. Some drink absinthe that was poured over sugar that is subsequently set alight (though absinthe purists decry this practice), and a few even like drinking absinthe neat (brave souls!). Absinthe cocktails, too, have long been a favorite way to enjoy this special drink. More recently, absinthe even found its way into ice cream sundaes and Swiss chocolates.
Absinthe has long been believed to be hallucinogenic, but today it is known that absinthe does not cause hallucinations, especially ones similar to those described in 19th century studies.
Like Everclear and Absinthe is banned in lots of countrys.


Vodka
Vodka comes from Easter Europe (Russia, Poland, Ukraine). Usually has an alcohol content of 35% to 50% by volume.
Name Vodka comes from the Russian "voda" (eng. water). Its also know as "Russian national drink". Its popularity elsewhere owes much to its usefulness in cocktails and other mixed drinks, such as the Bloody Mary, the Screwdriver, the vodka tonic, vodka martini, and most recently vodka red bull.



Whiskey
Whiskeys do not mature in the bottle, only in the cask, so the "age" of a whisky is the time between distillation and bottling. Standard percent of alcohol is 40% (Jack Daniels). Some of the higher end stuff is cask strength. Knob Creek is 50%, and Booker's is around 62%.

Gin
Gin usually contains 40% of alcohol, but some like Tanqueray are 48.5%. As other hard liquors is mixed into cocktails with sweeter ingredients like tonic water or vermouth to balance this dryness.

Rum
Usually 35% percent of alcohol. Its a distilled beverage made from sugarcane by-products such as molasses and sugarcane juice by a process of fermentation and distillation. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak and other barrels.

For the worst cases of abusive alcohol use, refer to an alcohol and drug treatment center that can provide the right tools and setting for recovery.

You guys aint got nothing comparing to what we have in the small caribbean
island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, we have a rum known as "Sunset
VERY STRONG Rum" shelf % is 85 but u can get direct from the factory 100+%
alcohol which on contact with your skin just evaporates, it will burn a clean
blue flame if ignited, there is no rum in the world that can compare to what we
have here

Everclear is essentially trash alcohol. Even when diluted, it produces a sick
feeling in your body and brain unlike even higher proof (And lighter.)alcohols
fermented from grapes (French Cabernet.) and dates (Arabian Arak.). Everclear is
only good to clean things with and as stove fuel.Evaporation is a problem with
the lower molecular weight alcohols, and capping tightly along with rapid
consumption after pouring is necessary.Everclear won't climb" up the side
of the glass like the really fine stuff through evaporation.Don't ever drink any
of these straight, as damage to your throat will occur.

Dude u have no idea what ur talking about. Before i even knew how to
handle liquor we were messing around with everclear.I didnt no what it was at
the time but we were taking straight shots and feeling great. Dont say sh*t that
you dont know about

your a tough guy
Lamberto  - Wrong Opinion...   |74.233.110.xxx |2009-11-29 19:15:27
What you state is simply incorrect. I have used Everclear for years to make
limoncello. When I do drink limoncello, it is one shot glass after dinner once
every blue moon. Never felt sick from it. So, what you are describing is
drinking excessively, and you can get sick from excessively drinking cognac.
Please use some balance when writing your opinions...
sunnyboy  - you got to try..   |202.83.54.xxx |2009-01-19 15:26:15
Bacardi 151 .. customs confiscated it from me when i was flying out of JFK
NotMe  - Right...   |129.125.103.xxx |2009-01-19 15:42:51
Stroh rum has 80%
kal44  - wodka is Polish   |85.73.93.xxx |2009-01-19 17:07:28
Horrible grammar and spelling, but thats beside the fact. Vodka comes from
Poland. It was invented there and used for barter trading with Russians who as
evident to this day became very fond of it.
You forgot to mention tequila, and
peyote.
Starveling  - Peyote, eh?   |74.131.30.xxx |2009-01-19 23:22:01
Last I check, peyote wasn't alcohol.

If you want to get real drunk real fast,
get some Wild Turkey 101. There's nothing like a good ol' bottle of kickin'
chicen.
Locke  - Peyote?   |79.97.26.xxx |2009-04-15 23:27:29
Yeah, peyote's a type of hallucinogenic cactus...

Bacardi 151 (75.5%)
arrack attack  - Sri Lankan Arrack   |60.242.196.xxx |2009-01-20 01:43:17
You forgot Sri Lankan arrack, if the high content of alcohol doesn't affect you
the manufacturing process of the stuff will.
hellboy  - Wild Turkey   |71.114.73.xxx |2009-01-20 16:40:10
you seem to have overlooked several brands. For instance, long popular and
available anywhere you can buy liquor is the ever popular bourbon whisky, Wild
Turkey. At 101 proof, the name is possibly intended to describe the behavior of
those drinking it. It is not "cask strength" or costly like those ponce
whiskies you mentioned. It's just all-American. Richard Nixon used to drink it
out of a coffee cup so papparazzi wouldn't catch him on film.
SkateBoarder  - 151,everclear   |75.173.129.xxx |2009-01-27 02:06:48

very nice(like corn) when i drank it. i say the runner up to everclear is
bacardi 151.

Locke  - Poteen - Poitin   |79.97.26.xxx |2009-04-15 23:25:29
Pronounced: Putch-een
This is an Irish spirit traditionally made from potatoes
and/or barley. It ranges from 60 to 90%. It was only made legal in 1997 and you
still need a special licence to sell it. Just sayin...it shoulda made the list.

Jamaican Rum over proof white rum. It will put hair on your chest!
Tim  - Worlds Strongest Rum????   |193.108.78.xxx |2009-08-20 15:35:51
Just came back from Bermuda with Goslings Black Seal Rum, which is a dark rum
produced at 80, 140, and 151 proof, (40%, 70% and a staggering 75.5%
ABV).

It's just taken the enamel off my pub-landlors teeth, after a face of
puckered lips, a scream and then a bout of tourettes style swearing.

Might
get a free pint out of it!

If Gin and Rum make the list, then you must mention Uozo, the national drink of
Greece. 96% alcohol prior to mixing, distillation, and final fermentation. About
370 versions available from 38-42% final alcohol by volume with some brands as
high as 47%.
