In the United States, Everclear is a brand of grain alcohol (ethanol), available at concentrations of 95% alcohol (190 proof) and 75.5% (151 proof) [1]. By contrast, hard liquors such as rum and vodka generally contain 40% alcohol (80 proof). Everclear is manufactured by Luxco (formerly the David Sherman Corporation) [2].
It is illegal to purchase the 190 proof version in many U.S. states such as Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Washington, California, Michigan, Florida, Virginia and West Virginia (as of November 2005). Due to Everclear's lack of sugar and impurities (congeners), it may make drinkers less vulnerable to hangovers. However, the lack of a strong flavor tends to promote overconsumption. Everclear is usually mixed into an alcoholic beverage, and is highly flammable.

I did a double shot of it once. I was kind of disappointed--I expected to get a lot drunker from it than I did, especially considering that a) it tastes like nail polish and b) I chased it with a fuzzy navel.

Yup, sure is. I took a gulp once and it took my breath away. I could feel it going through my veins before it ever hit my stomach.

Yes, it is. That means it is made up of 95% alcohol.
