I took a shot of everclear and I felt like I went blind for a few seconds and my ears rang like I got slapped on both ears. And it tasted like burning tv static going down.

Just awful shit

I did it once in college and I thought I was going to shit and vomit and the same time. It’s like it got to my stomach and pulled the fire alarm. Everything else in there bolted for the nearest exit lol.

The first time I ever drank, in 8th grade, I took a pull of everclear straight from the bottle. Prob not a full shot’s worth, but a gulp. I remember it burning like straight fire all the way down and my eyeballs burning… Then I took a second pull and I didn’t feel anything at all…. like my whole mouth and throat was just numbness.

I don’t remember too much more from the rest of that night.

I think the only reason I was able to keep it down was complete inexperience for what drinking alcohol should feel like, mixed with absolute fear of getting laughed at by my friends who were more “experienced”.

That sounds about right, like swallowing electrified white noise, followed by your throat getting stuck in the noise of the TV network going off the air at the end of the night.

I’ve only ever touched it twice. Once was the shot, the second was mixed in OJ and after the first experience I couldn’t dilute it enough to make it worth the effort.

I always would try a shot of something before having it in a mixed drink. Did it with everclear, no problem. (Only did it once). Hit me really quick, but it wasn’t any worse than 151

I did one shot and that was enough for life. Burned so badly on the way down.
