Okay, who here did not know Everclear is almost pure alcohol?
WORCESTER, Mass. (Gray News) - A student who suffered “catastrophic” burns in an explosion at a fraternity house party in May is suing the maker of Everclear.
Stupidity should be painful! I'd say that our system is working perfectly. Well, except for the fact the lawsuit wasn't laughed out of court as it should have been.
Shysters know how to play the moola game and that game is big commission harvesting. Luxco, the makers of Everclear obviously have more finances to syphon off than a college fraternity.
No fooling. STEM ain't what it used to be. OK, some things were a little sketchy. In my undergrad days (the 1970s, so. . .) a buddy of mine came back from a summer research job in a gummint lab with several gallons of 95% ethanol. He and his roomies would cut off one end of a watermelon and stand it up in a tub of ice, then cut a 3 or 4 inch core out, fill with high proof lab alcohol, cap it again and let it soak in to the melon. My head aches just thinking of it.
College students aren't very intelligent these days... Everclear, Diesel and some others are just grain alcohol and are highly flammable and dangerous if consumed in excess.. Alcohol poisoning is a real thing.. JD
"The lawsuit states that Everclear removed safety warnings from its bottles and marketed the alcohol as safe for use near open flames..." #1, I've NEVER seen Everclear advertised. #2, "one of the fraternity members “negligently poured a highly flammable liquid,” believed to be Everclear, on the fire, producing “an enormous fireball.” If one of the other fraternity members did this, then why isn't she suing him? #3, If this broad and the "fraternity member" made it to COLLEGE not knowing that alcohol burned, they didn't get there "by merit..."
Ah, fraternity boys, always up to zany fun. A couple guys from my Penn State freshman dorm pledged fraternities. They were the biggest assholes on the floor.

It's called suing the party with the deeper (est) pockets.
DeleteSeems the fraternity is the party that should be sued. Probably all they got is a sack to put over her head

ReplyDeleteI'll drink to that!
ReplyDeleteAll leftists, no doubt...
ReplyDeleteSeems like the chemistry student that poured the alcohol,or the host of the party (the frat?) are the people who should be worried.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly.
DeleteBupid Stitch....
Delete191 proof. 200 is 100% pure alcohol.
ReplyDeleteIt's always somebody else's fault
ReplyDeleteEverclear spilled on a pool table will bleach the green right out.
ReplyDeleteAsk me how I know this.
