I'm sure there is some pretty potent home-made specialties around (namely in my storeroom, oh, and that bottle of Absinthe I have that no-one has claimed---long story..) but here is an extract from our pal wiki: "Everclear, a neutral grain spirit is sold at 190 proof in parts of the U.S. where it is legal. For comparison, absinthe (one of the highest-alcohol commercial liquors available) usually tops out at around 70% ABV and ranges from about 120 to 130 proof. Austrian Stroh 80 rum is an exception with a ABV of 80% (proof 160)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_proof Mar 08 06, 8:36 PM

Probably grain alcohol, also known as ethyl alcohol, pure grain alcohol and grain neutral spirits. Usually about 190 proof, or 95% alcohol. Here's an interesting group of cocktail names that use that potent stuff. http://www.webtender.com/db/ingred/31 Mar 08 06, 8:39 PM

As for bottled, legitimate, over the counter beverages, Bacardi 151 is still reigns supreme. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacardi_151 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacardi_151 Strongest Commercial Alcoholic Drink The strongest commercially available alcoholic drink dates from during the first half of the 20th century, when the Estonian Liquor Monopoly marketed a beverage that was distilled from potatoes. It was 196 proof (98% alcohol). Estonia is one of the Baltic states. http://www.guinessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=49109 http://www.guinessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=49109 Mar 08 06, 10:48 PM
