I'm not sure if this belongs in The Galley or not, but I couldn't think of anywhere else to put it.

I'm surprised that even cough syrup didn't make the list, or X extract (where x= flavoring, such as vanilla). . . Remember the episode of Family Ties where the alcoholic uncle is caught drinking the vanilla extract in the pantry?
Anyhow, I'd hate to ever need to be drunk badly enough that I'd consider anything listed. *shudders*

The reaerchers at the research Labtratory I deliver to, drink their cleaning Achohol every Christmas mixed with Orange juice.
These are Labratory Scientists, who work for the Candian Government.
They make good money; I'm sure they can afford to get a cab to pick them up a case of beer!!

It's a possibility that they use ethyl alcohol to clean with so there wouldn't be any problem with that.drew wrote:The reaerchers at the research Labtratory I deliver to, drink their cleaning Achohol every Christmas mixed with Orange juice.

Oh, I'm sure it's not poisonus...but it's fairly potent from what I've heard/observed.
I don't see WHY they feel the need to drink it though...like I said, I'm sure they can afford to buy their own liquor and not drink up what they use in their lab.

Untill I read that link, I thought the Swedish "bult" was the worst:
A knob of bakers yeast, two pounds of sugar, a galon of water. Mix well and place on the central heating device (close to body temeprature) for four to five days...... No distilling, no filtering no nothing. They just down the frothy yeasty stuff by the gallon. It's get a little bit heavier than average beer: about 7-8% Vol. But - bluearghhh!!!!!

The Mayans used enemas to deliver alcohol and other intoxicants. When I first heard that on a Discovery channel program I didn't believe it, and had to check to see if it was true.
