What the fuck, state? Stop ruining everything because some young people are idiots.
And there is a lower proof Everclear and a higher proof one. They are saying only the lower will be available now.

people don't drink everclear because they like the taste, they do it to get drunk with the greatest efficiency. the only people who are going to miss it are the ones that the bill is targeting 11/30/2010 2:47:22 PM |

it was mostly used to make PJ or Jungle Juice, a popular substitution for a keg. Usually seen at younger people parties, and is an easy way to get chicks wasted. 11/30/2010 3:00:01 PM |

Exactly. I don't know anyone who drinks straight everclear. I know a few people who have taken a shot of it, but that's mostly just to say they've done it.
All this does is make it so you have to spend more money to use vodka in your PJ recipe rather than Everclear.11/30/2010 3:03:48 PM |

To echo what has already been said, I have only had one straight shot of Everclear in my life. Nobody wants to drink that stuff straight. I would venture to say 99.5% of all Everclear purchased in NC is mixed with something else before it is consumed. 11/30/2010 3:06:53 PM |

they didn't take away your freedom, nobody said you can't have it. they're just not going to sell it any more--like the hundred other types of liquor that they don't sell 11/30/2010 3:12:24 PM |

Hmmm, given that only the government can sell liquor in the state of NC I'd say banning another substance is removal of a freedom. 11/30/2010 3:26:52 PM |

I'm unclear how they justified this move.
Are the younger kids really that offensively crazy in some new way that we need to go to these extremes to protect them?
People have been getting blackout drunk on PJ forever...what's changed? I'm sure measures like this have been taken in the past...I'm wondering what conditions prompt the limiting of freedom...is it the economy? Has there been some secret religious boom I'm unaware of? Has this move been in the works for a looong time and is only now hitting the scene?
It can't just be the personalities of a couple people (Bev or Stroup), right? Is Stroup from a state where grainish alcohol is not available?
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?
^^^Can you really "renature" (AHA) alcohol? PM me the directions. I hate taxes.
^^Is that a joke?
