The State Liquor Authority recently approved the sale of 192-proof booze - meaning the
potent potables are 96% alcohol.
Some shop owners and imbibers are raising a glass to the hooch, believed to be the strongest
ever available in the state, particularly folks in Polish and Russian communities who've had to
travel to New Jersey for the stiff brew.
"It's incredibly sharp. It takes your breath away," said Levi Pekar, 22, a Brooklyn student who
has sampled the swill. "It's like getting punched in the solar plexus."
I wasn't aware that this sort of alcohol was banned in New York. It sounds like plain old "everclear," which is usually sold at 190 proof. It's not really a "sippin'" alcohol, though. You usually don't pour yourself some 90% grain alcohol over ice and play poker with your buddies.
They must be about to roll out the new state budget

Ah the wormwood, I'd wondered where that drink had ran off to.
