Was at a friend of mine's house for a cookout/holiday party, and I discovered a few things.
One is that Everclear in the nastiest thing I have every put into my mouth.
Honestly, and that's staying something. It smelt like medical alchohol, and while there wasn't much taste after the initial "Oh, gods, this just ate the skin off my tongue", I discovered that one must have water or -something- to make the taste go away. Cause that first breath of air after you have the Everclear is the burning. The bottom of my mouth, under my tongue, still feels like I scalded it somehow. Tender and rough feeling.
However, Everclear is 190 proof. Making it very, -very- high alchohol content. Which brings me to the reason on why I had Everclear in my mouth.
Breathing fire is fun, when you can get it to work right.
Not sure if it's worth the burning sensation of the alchohol, though.
So many people were spitting the taste of Everclear out of their mouths that we actually soaked enough of the lawn for bits of it to catch fire. Nothing major, but rather funny. I think of I was one of maybe three people who tried this that was actually sober. I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse, but it was fun. Much better at eating fire than breathing it, though one of the people who were really good at it also set his hand on fire. No major damage, just lost some of the hair there.
Gods, though, Everclear is nasty shit. Of course, firebreathing is one of those tricks I always wanted to learn.
