10. No, but I have had straight grain (Everclear) and barely lived through that.

Then there was the great tequila tragedy of 1983. After two days of soaking in the bathtub with my heel plugging the drain, I finally crawled out and slept on the floor for a few more days. I lived right next to the railroad tracks. Trains get a little amplified in a bathtub. This was not a good thing.
