It depends on the size of the bottle. Did you ever consider cutting back to beer? Going with the 190 is a little dangerous. Your too young to screw up your life, by getting hung up on alcohol. It's fun at a party, when you're with friends but on a daily basis it will mess you up.
If you think you have a problem, then you do. Try and quit, cold turkey for a while. Stay straight at the next party, and just watch your friends, who think they are so cool, and you'll see them turn into goofs or jerks.
I've been there, I got lucky with a good woman who stood by me. You have to want to clean up your act, nobody can make you do it otherwise. You're young, it shouldn't be too hard. Good luck dude.

Bro, I feel you.
I was once, not too long ago, 19 years old. I had a fake ID, so liquor came cheap and easy... Furthermore, I was in a very bad accident on my 19th birthday when I was seeing my parents. A semi-truck hit me on the interstate and I slammed into a wall at 70 MPH. I couldn't walk for a couple of months as both my achilles tendons snapped. I was out of college for a while, I had very few friends, my mom had been dead for six years, so on, so forth. On top of this, I was an atheist, so no faith to lean on. I drank a lot of Jager and Everclear, and spent every evening being ungodly drunk. So, I did what any rational person would do...
I said to hell with it all!
I told my parents goodbye, spent $83 for a greyhound ticket to fort lauderdale, hopped on a plane for the US Virgin Islands and have for the last year and a half done whatever I feel like doing. I work as a bartender and a part-time radio DJ and it is the best time of my life.
Don't abuse alcohol. It might seem like the right way to cope, but it isnt. Something horrible happened, so make the most out of your precious time here. Everclear (while amazingly good at getting you ripped) is not the way to go...and drinking a fifth of it in 60 hours? I wouldn't call you an alcoholic, I would call you a self-medicator. And alcohol is not a good medication. Figure out what you want to do with yourself...and do it.
It seems like such a difficult thing to do...just lay off the booze for a day, sit back and figure out where you want to be now, what you want to be doing, and make the best attempt at getting to that point!
Good luck, man...what happened to you is a heart-wrencher, but just try not to let it get the best of you.

Drinking that much Everclear (without helpers) is way too much. It is equivalent to drinking a 5th of whiskey every day. That will kill you in the end.
You should drink to celebrate, not to cope. If one or two normal drinks is not enough to make you happy, seek out someone for help.
Some advice, we all have problems and tragedies, but creating another one for yourself is not the way to deal with it. You sound like you have a drinking problem.
Stay away from the booze until you are in control of yourself. And waiting until you are 21 is not a bad idea either. At 19, you have a lot of life to live.
Don't mess yourself up

Perhaps you should leave Nevada and visit a friend. Vegas is a dangerous place to be depress in. It can be lonely. I am only assuming your in Nevada, since Most other states has outlawed everclear. I don't have a solution about your drinking, but don't buy anymore everclear. At least buy some lower proof alcohols, so you won't kill yourself, or reduce your chance of killing yourself. I strongly suggest not to be by yourself. At least if you go overboard, someone may pull you out.

My buddy enormously plenty did a similar element and he's sitting on the lavatory vomitting abdomen acid on the instant. Take him to the medical institution if he gets worse yet he in simple terms sounds like he's had too plenty to drink. a bad head from the alcohol and a bad chest from vomitting. Ask him if he feels he desires help.
