Curious - what other alcohols?
- Nursie 9y agoThings like "2M2B", tertiary-Amyl alcohol. The downsides tend to be foul taste and massive potency - much over 15ml can kill someone. It doesn't undergo metabolism to aldehyde so the traditional hangover doesn't happen, and the duration can be much longer. There are others. I'm not vouching for the safety of any of them (even ethanol!), for the record, and have not tried 2M2B.
- dave_sullivan 9y agoYou know it's niche when there are only two reports on erowid: https://www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_2Methyl2Butanol.shtml https://www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_2Methyl2Butanol....
- Nursie 9y agoHehe, lol. True. You'd probably find a bit more info on some of the forums dedicated to "legal highs" from a few years back, and maybe on bluelight. I don't think it ever became popular. This is probably a really good thing because of the apparent low dose you might need to accidentally kill yourself.
- jcadam 9y agoGiven that you'd be using an eyedropper to add this alcohol to your Coke, would it impart any perceptible taste to the beverage?
- Nursie 9y agoTrue! I did read something about a guy who had used it to make 'vodka', by adding a few ml to enough water that a shot would have a similar effect to ethanol-based spirits. At the concentration the report said there was a sort of minty-chemical. I would imagine further dilutions with a mixer would hide that.
- donmatito 9y agoI think you're onto something. Go make the next billion-dollar company :-)
