EVERCLEAR .... the only way to describe it is pure RUBBING ALCOHOL. I was drunk 10 straight hours Saturday (UL final four baby!) and took a shot of that during my intoxication ... and that is the nastiest stuff I've ever drank. Anyone ever drink that? And my head is still a little sore over a day later ... craziness. No more drinknig for me for a month or two.

Isn' Everclear like 150 proof or something?

The first time I ever had something like that was with some Polish guys in the international dorms in Japan. They had this vodka that was 180 proof. I didn't know it was, and somebody poured me like a glass of it. Luckily someone stopped me before I started going.
It's incredible stuff. Evaporates as soon as it hits your lips, creating a terrible cooling sensation. Then fire as it wends its way down your throat. I had an Irish version of it once at an Irish bar in Osaka.

190. It also doesn't taste like anything IMO (but boy does it burn). I haven't drank any since my Frosh year of College. There's a big-ass warning on the bottle saying that it's dangerous shit.

Most diesel shit, proof-wise, I've ever had the displeasure of drinking. Back in high school, with my "mistress" (was dating my future wife at the same time), mixed it with Pepsi of all the fucking things (it was that or Orangina). Goddamn that shit was awful. Still, beggars can't be choosers--it was the only liquor her parents had in the entire apartment.

Everclear isn't too bad.
Hhhmmm, I think Ouzo tastes like ass. Though it has nothing to do with its proof.

Everclear 190 is about all I'll drink. You can't buy it in the state of Washington, so we have to travel to the Canadian border to pick it up. There you can get a fifth for $20. Nothing will get you drunk faster or cheaper 
I think someone mentioned it here, but yeah, it's essentially pure ethanol. I've read that the reason it's 95% or 190proof is that you can't distill 100% ethanol because at that point it will pull moisture from the air and dilute itself to 95%. It's rubbing alcohol without the chemical that will make you go blind if you drink it.
I think it's pretty hilarious that the Bacardi 151 bottles have a flame guard and say keep away from flame. Whereas the cheapass bottle of 190 has nothing and says keep away from heat.
Also, there are some states (like CA) that can't sell any alcohol over 151 proof so they market "everclear" in it's diluted 151 proof state.
Personally, I find an Austrian 160proof Rum "Stroh" the worst alcohol you can imagine. It is absolutely terrible. It smells a little like vanilla when you open it, but it goes down a little like what I imagine raw sewage would taste like. And then lingers for an hour

Ugh .. I don't see how you can drink Everclear. I'm a vodka fan, but I couldn't stand that stuff. I need Absolut or something. Actually I'm more of a gin fan. Gin is a lot like vodka, but different somehow. Can't quite explain it.

Guiness.
My friends and I bought a six pack of this stuff about a decade ago, around High School and we all nursed a bottle to it's bitter end before admitting defeat. Nobody knows what came of the rest of that damned six pack.
It's like drinking a cup of wood.
Or at least what I imagine an end table would taste like if you liquified it.
Fucking awful.
Can't say I'm a fan of hard liqour, namely because I prefer stuff that tastes like something other than fire.

Has to be Georgi Vodka. I've had the misfortune of it being the only alcohol around twice in my life and both times I drank a lot, never really got drunk at all, but later at night I would end up throwing up. All the after effects with none of the fun, what is this garbage!?

When I was in undergrad someone bought a plastic 2 liter bottle of purple passion. It is grape soda pop mixed with EVERCLEAR. It was the rankest stuff I have ever tasted.

It's just a stronger, light beer... Which is usually very cheap, and tastes like shit. Nothing like getting fucked up on some Old English or King Cobra.

It's not strong or anything, but Pucker is the sickest stuff I've ever had the displeasure of trying.... I HATE sweet alcohol, but my friend wanted me to try it, I tried it, and almost spontaneously vommited. Sweet + Alcohol = Disgusting.

Pretty cool, I've got a MGD neon hung up in my bedroom. Really nice.
And then I've got some MGD poster made with aluminum. It's like 4' x 3' but I don't want to hang it up. My folks used to have a restaurant, and they took that back for me. Good lookin' out...

I tell you, that's some downright nasty stuff. Couple that shit with two large absinth shots and you have the recipe for the worst hangover ever.

Lisa Edelstein's dad touched my private parts. True fact.
Really quick..
Okay, I typically drink Belvedere or Kettle One tonic these days, but I used to be obsessed with Bombay Saphire, which I can't stand anymore. I drink a bunch still, but I stick to wines and vodkas. i'd like to drnk more tequilla but it makes my girlfriend go insane, literally--it like, releases her id and even she acknowledges it so we avoid it. As per shots, SoCo lime. I have an awful gag reflex and I've thrown up twice from simple alchohol flavor--my throat usually alerts me to the fact I'm going to throw up by tensing up really quickly, then it's a fight for control with my tensed up neck. One time was straight Bombay after an extended hiatus. It was more contextual than that--awful meal, etc. Anyway, the most awful liquor I have ever had was in a bar in Barcelona. I took it down, threw it back up right into my mouth, and blew it all over the bar. I wasn't a bit embarrased, because even my ultra-seasoned friend was like, "I threw up into my mouth...and swallowed."
I once drank from an 8 dollar gigantic handle of rum--I swear that I was hallucinating, yes, hallucinating from alchohol, within 25 minutes and two drinks.

It has a somewhat bitter/herbal taste.
It's banned in the United States. It supposedly has psychoactive ingredients but I did not experience any hallucinogenic effects. I did get drunk pretty quick on it though.
*sigh*
Booze is ethyl alcohol/ethanol. Rubbing alcohol is isopropyl alcohol, and is also helpful in cleaning cpu heatsinks when pure. The third kind, methyl alcohol/methanol, is an industrial chemical. You should know what you're drinking better a hell of a lot better.
