1. Not really
I find it not funny, but Irrelevant. I won't waste my time worrying about such things until the discussion gets to at least 300 proof liquor.

7. even at 300 proof
I refuse to drink it unless its laced with Marijuana and valium. Tense times call for a real drink, not these pantywaste vodka or white lightning I keep hearing about.

...of my local Murphy's supermarket in Blue Lake, California.

12. Did you know that pure ethyl alcohol dilutes itself?
The pure alcohol we used in chem labs had to be kept in airtight containers--not to prevent its evaporating, but to prevent its pulling water out of the air and diluting itself coincidentally to 190 proof.

Mother Nature will cheat you.
