What is the strongest drink you can legally buy?

Question

and what proof is it?

Answer 1

Since no idiots on here read the word LEGALLY, my vote goes to shandy.

Good ol' 0.25% alchohol.

Answer 2

I am not a spirits man but I have seen here that Everclear is the strongest.

Approx. 190 proof

Answer 3

There is usually some sort of practically pure ethanol available, something like "EverClear" which is 90% alcohol, or about 180 proof.

Answer 4

the strongest drink i have seen for sale in the uk would be absinthe, at 90%

Answer 5

In a regular bar, probably a Long Island Tea- 1/2  shots each of 4 clear liquors with a splash of coke.

Answer 6

Not the strongest, but strong is Bacardi 151 proof rum.

Answer 7

Why is not Alex nice such as every one here?

Answer 8

you havent said your age you buy and strong drink at age 18 (some shops and clubs are 21) and thats in the uk,

Answer 9

Maybe sulfuric acid.  So strong that you can only drink it once!

Seriously, though, I'd say "straight distilled grain alcohol".  "Everclear" and "Grave's" are some brand names typically sold in may spirits shops.  They are 180 - 190 proof (90% to 95% pure alcohol).  The rest of it (5% to 10%) is water, and it cannot be removed cheaply, so it is left in.

Answer 10

Absinthe is pretty rough stuff after 2 or 3 of them it's like lighter fluid going down your windpipe.

Answer 11

You could buy 99.5% (pure) ethanol which is pretty much the next step up from Everclear and some moonshine although I wouldn't advise it.
