Who says nobody can smell vodka on your breath?

I've always been able to smell it, though I've sometimes wondered what
odd stuff they were drinking, as I couldn't pin it down to the usual
whiskey, whisky, gin, or rum scent. Which was how I knew it was
vodka. My daughter was able to, too.

And I think all hungover people have some tinge of a certain smell,
whatever they've been drinking.

I'm betting EverKlear doesn't use much charcoal.

Everclear is just 95% ethyl alcohol, 5% water. What you probably 'taste' is just
too much alcohol, not impurities.

"No fillers" is how I've been enjoying it thus far. I don't know where
the cutoff is proportion-wise; but at some point, the inital flavor of
the vodka (gin, whatever) becomes unimportant and overshadowed by the
mixers. If I'm drinking it straight, I want and am willing to pay for
the good stuff (within reason); otherwise I can just buy a jug o'
Popov, 1.75L for $9.99.

I'd sorta been hoping somebody would mention Everclear. Maybe mixed
half-n-half with distilled water. I mean, that's pretty much what vodka
is, right?

Just kidd'n!

There's a reason for that. The only thing I've found it good for is
making herbal tinctures. The stuff tastes horrible, even in mixed
drinks. You have to have a serious desire to get drunk to use
Everclear for anything but cleaning of external cuts and scrapes or
tinctures (which have to mellow for a long time).

I used to use it to sterilize my bottle caps when I home brewed beer. No
open flames!
