Wow, this article really makes me feel like I dodged the bullet for our household when I realized that 95% (190 proof) Everclear was available for $35/1.75l
I did the chemistry math and figured 3 parts Everclear:1 part water equalled 71.25% ethyl alcohol, within the recommended of the WHO.
I even tried adding in food grade aloe to help not be as damaging on the skin (instead of water). Worked really well too.
We didn't spray down every surface, but we did grocery cart handles. Even outside of a pandemic, those are NASTY.
But yeah, we had NO issue in sanitizer. And ours you could drink too! Hahahha
- perardi 3y agoYeah, repurposing Everclear got me through the pandemic. I cut it with Diet Coke, and a splash of lime, and drank it to help sanitize my system of coronavirus particles. Kept me COVID-free. I think. I don’t really remember much of the past 3 years for some reason, drinking that every day…but no nagging cough!
- burnished 3y agoYes, for me it turned out that I had already been practicing social distancing for some time and had gotten quite good at it. Cheap beer and video games helped me be a model citizen
- hackernewds 3y agoA period of time where everyone was required to isolate indoors, and cover half their face outdoors really gave me an edge against my tall, fit and extroverted peers, and got me 3 accelerated promotions. Really cut their advantages down.

- Scoundreller 3y agoReally good. Came in handy for reading my liver biopsy novella!
- fknorangesite 3y agoIs the joke here that you are conflating Everclear and [shitty] moonshine?
- trompetenaccoun 3y agoI too dodged a bullet by not buying into the fear mongering and continuing life as usual. No special purchases necessary whatsoever. Unfortunately my cash savings are inflated away in the economic crisis that's now following just like everyone else's.
