DonPeffers Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I heard a virologist (Prof Peter Piot) on TV the other day saying the coronavirus resides mostly in the throat (will get into lungs when full infection takes hold). A big danger was speaking to someone within a one metre distance and droplets in the breath contaminating a new host. Never mind all the alcohol wipes and 20 second hand washing surely it is the duty of every responsible citizen to take matters into their own hands by imbibing alcohol above 60% ABV (120 proof) to kill the virus. Seen online Spirytus Delikatesowy – 192 proof This dangerous and legendary Polish vodka, approved by the New York State Liquor Authority just four years ago, is nearly 100 percent pure alcohol, and believed to be the strongest liquor for sale in America. Fans highly recommend mixing it with something—anything—and don’t forget to say “Na Zrdowie!” They may be the last words you ever utter. Strongest available in UK seems to be Balkan 176 Vodka (88% alcohol) Serbian Pure Grain Vodka.....and guess what...it's out of stock. Those who didn't want to drink it could just gargle. I've not tested the above and strongest I ever tried was 140 proof Polish vodka back in the seventies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 What a great way to go..... after a bottle or two of anything like that you won't care what illness is coming for you. You sir are a legend, medical advice beyond equal or measure, I'm putting my car keys away and heading to oblivion. Nem........ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Seeing as we have to spend 9 hours locked up in a 747 Jumbo with God knows how many other people, while we fly from Bangkok to Sydney, we think its best to keep our mouths and throats clear by washing then out with Champagne 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonPeffers Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 I tried and failed to get the Balkan 176 Vodka (88% alcohol) as was out of stock on a few sites (fake news that a Mr J. of Westminster had bought the lot). Initially I was keen to buy it to read the thirteen health warnings (even has one in Braille). Then I thought possibly ABV 88 might be just too unpalatable even when it might be a life-saving medicine. Similarly I decided against Spirytus Duch Puszczy 50cl / 95% ABV which was available. Seeing online Wray & Nephew Overproof Rum 70Cl Bottle at a mere ABV 63 (126 proof) I ordered a bottle and it arrived today. Contains 44.1 units per bottle. I am in an at risk group being a long term asthmatic as well as ancient so if I get the coronavirus continuous cough I will resort to the virus killer. Expecting the worst I just tried a shot and very surprisingly it was pretty good. Recommended. Good health. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkemotorsport Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 See if you can get some Stroh 80 overproof... its an Austrian Rum, and its 80% but quite disgusting to be quite honest. Or Try some Brugal 151 its a little lower coming in at 75.5% but its more palletable for sure. I've tried the Balkan 176 and its the most odd thing to drink, the only drink i have ever experienced to evaporate whilst on the way down, chilling it is a must 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonPeffers Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 On the Master of Malt website there are some amusing reviews and tasting notes. If you don't close your mouth quickly it evaporates before you can swallow---Balkan 176. That wouldn't do for me as the alcohol then might not be sufficient to attack the virus. Great for a good nights sleep---Brugal Ron Blanco 151 but says discontinued. Tasting Note--- Stroh Inländer 80 ABV. Nose: Rich, punchy spices and caramel-like sweetness. Woody. Palate: Sweet notes of Demerara sugar, potpourri and butterscotch. Very intense. Hints of molasses and treacle. Finish: Long, musty finish. Nutmeg, cloves and sweetness. Overall: Incredibly intense. I've looked at so many sites and drinks that I've lost track but I recall one strong spirit drink with tasting note stating essences of pear, caramel and pop tarts!? Really? Bring back Jilly Goolden and Oz Clarke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Given the rather interesting skill set of many of us when it comes to fabrication, plumbing etc. I wonder who's going to be the first with too much time on their hands to build a still themselves and get into home production?

Poteen is certainly potent Tex. I saw Knockeen Hills Irish Poteen Gold Extra-Strength (70cl, 90% ABV alcohol) but unfortunately was £70 a bottle.
