Tequila, vodka, gin, scotch, etc on the shelf at your local liquor store are all roughly 60% water.


Thank God. Not sure I want to drink 200 Proof anything.

Got to be 100% agave or its a no go!

Kirkland's store brand is awesome. But I can't find it on the shelves here.

My Dad said when he was in the Army (Korea vet), they would obtain (steal) 180 proof medicinal alcohol, and cut it 50/50 with grapefruit juice from their rations.

Fun fact: ethanol/water solutions can’t be distilled past about 95% ABV without adding some pretty nasty chemicals to break the azeotrope. Hence the reason all of the straight grain alcohols are 190 proof and 99.9% reagent grade ethanol is toxic as hell.

So no, you really don’t want to drink 200 proof anything.
