Yeah. It depends on where you live, but where I am you can get 190 proof (95% ABV) Everclear. I have only once tried drinking it straight. The shit is so concentrated that it instantly makes it feel like your mouth is dried out and full of cotton. Surprisingly I didn't cough when I drank it, but god did it burn and you can actually feel the liquor go down your throat/esophagus and into your stomach. But even a shot full of nearly 100% pure grain ethanol alcohol wasn't enough to even notice.
Interesting learning experience, but even if I wanted to get hammered as quickly as possible it was so unpleasant there's no way I'd ever do it again. Mixed, however? Not a problem. And pretty economical if you do it right. Still a harsh spirit, would much rather have rum. Or vodka in a pinch.
96%? is that even drinkable? like, actual alcohol sold at pharmacies is at 96%
