That can't possibly taste good.

At 32%, I'm not sure taste is going to matter.

The Scottish government is going to be mandating a minimum price for alcohol soon, so good on them. I really feel bad for the Scots, for some reason they stay loyal to the left even though lefty parties just shit on them as soon as they get in power.

I won't drink it from a pint glass but will from a shot glass. Probably smells similar to a Miller Lite I left fermenting in a crate for 15 years (Hell no, I didn't drink it).

They found a "beer type" alcohol in pyrmids in Eygpt... said it was perfectly safe to drink... didn't comment on the taste though.

Yes, archaeologists determined the day laborers at the pyramids got a daily beer ration.

I'm skeptical. Until very recently, beer couldn't get higher than about 6 or 7 percent alcohol. Something that old should have spoiled.
