The only thing I use Everclear for is making transparent soap!

That's a new one!

Do tell!

Once upon a time I tried to make napalm by mixing Liquid Joy detergent and kerosene. Didn't burn worth a damm, but it made a great hand cleaner!

Actually it's an old one. Pears soap used alcohol to make transparent soap back in the 19th century. Nowadays, you can use PEGs to do the job, but the amateur home soap maker still needs high proof grain alcohol to avoid patent conflicts.

As for the drinking kind, I go for 20 year old single malt scotch and 20 year old port. Anything younger is either mouth wash or charcoal lighter, IMHO:>)
