Some lessons you just have to learn the hard way.
I still remember learning my lesson about Everclear in college. The 190-proof, 95% alcohol by volume grain alcohol is responsible for more than a few nights that are forever missing from my memories – and some of the worst hangovers I’ve ever had.
The stuff is basically gasoline, and not only does it f*ck you up, it basically tastes like jet fuel too. That burn as it goes down is something you never forget.
But Gen Z is just now discovering the bad idea that is Everclear – and one TikToker tried to turn it into a challenge.
(Disclaimer: Don’t do this. Just don’t).
This poor guy tried his best to take a shot of the jet fuel without showing any reaction. And let’s just say it didn’t go well.

Some mistakes you just have to make on your own. But I have a feeling this is a mistake they’ll only make once.
