everclear is only legal in few states in the US. Just so happens I live in on. It's the closest thing to moon shine or grain alcohol that you can get without manufacturing it your self. It is 190 proof witch means it contains 95% alcohol. I have some for special occasions. You know, you might have more people over then you anticipated. I do not advise drinking a bottle of your own. I will bring you closer(if not ) to dead then you would consider.

190 proof and sold now in Georgia in canning jars, just like the moonshiners used to sell it.
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.

It is a grain alcohol. It is a overproof spirit. Usually you will find it in 90%alchohol and 75% alcohol. However it is hard to find the 90%alcohol or 180 proof, because it is illegal in the USA. But you can find the 150 proof. It is a very strong and it is better if you drink it straight.
But never play with this thing. Its gonna kill you.

Its pretty much pure distilled ethyl alcohol around 75 - 90% with the rest water. this is different from denatured alcohol in that it contains no poisonous methanol.
