At the store the other day, and one of 'them' bought two bottles of rubbing alcohol and one bottle of Mad Dog 20/20. I couldn't understand what for... (you can't drink the stuff). Maybe stove fuel?
Vanilla essence ,80%ethanol, was a favourite of a (now retired) supermarket manager.mrs.oroblanco said:They use it to "cut" real alcohol (the drinkable type), so that there is a greater quantity. Its nasty and can kill you, but then again, so can Sterno canned heat, which they also use to get drunk. Also, cold medicines, perfumes, cologne, (Aqua Velva used to be a good one to use).
It can do terrible things to your organs.

A lack of understanding is common. Alcoholism is an incurable disease once afflicted.21stTNCav said:I have empathy, but no understanding of the desire to drink that badly. I guess the Lord has blessed me. Did I say "I guess"? You should meet my wife for 5 minutes. The Lord "HAS" blessed me. ( And she tolerates me and my zany hobbies too. Whats not to love.)
