Talk:Everclear

In Indiana

The 190 proof stuff is definitely legal in Indiana. I can walk less than a block from my office and buy as much as I want. -ljheidel 14 Nov 2005 2247

Ohio

The entry says it's both legal and illegal in Ohio. --Thatnewguy 12:08, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

It is legal to sell Everclear in the State of Ohio. However, and, remember, the devil's in the details here as elsewhere, it is important to remember several things. Ohio is a control state, meaning that the state exercises strong controls on the sale of beverage alcohol in all forms. Ohio sells hard liquor (equal to or greater than 43 proof or 21.5 per cent alcohol by volume) through contract agencies. These agencies sell the liquor as agents of the state and must follow all state rules and regulations in the conduct of their business just as if they actually worked for the state (remember your high school Business Law class and the Law of Agency?). The state says that ordinary retail sales to the general public are prohibited. Display of Everclear on the shelves and the allowance of access by the public (if stocked by an agency) are prohibited. In order for a retail customer to purchase Everclear, he/she/it must provide what amounts to an affidavit giving full information as to identity, occupation (the sale of Everclear is allowed for those with a legitimate business, scientific, professional, medical/veterinary purpose for the product), and intended use (a limited number of personal uses [such as using the product to make home-made cordials] are recognized - intending to make "hairy buffaloes" is not recognized). Upon application, the wise agent will also seek permission from Liquor Control to proceed. The written material is to be kept on file indefinitely and is available to Liquor Control/law enforcement agents 24/7/52. The sale of a different Everclear-branded product, Everclear 151, essentially a high-proof vodka, is allowed, so far, without restrictions of the kind just mentioned.

Another legality loophole is that while it may be illegal to sell this in a state, it is legal to be sold on military bases in that state. That's the case in Ohio. MichaelBlankley (talk) 03:31, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

I can confirm that. In Virginia, its sold only on military bases in military liquor stores. Of course, you could also get light brown colored "Military Special" brand vodka for $9 a bottle. My liver and kidneys hurt just remembering it... Bullzeye ^{(Ring for Service)} 16:25, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I've bought it at two different stores, the one requires me to sign something explaining why I was purchased as mentioned above, the other did not; the clerk simply got the bottle from behind the counter. It certainly isn't illegal in Ohio but most stores do not carry it so it is a pain to call around to find it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.185.166.114 (talk) 03:18, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

The state has a website that shows where you can buy things. https://www.ohlq.com/product/2952 has all the places that sell 190 proof Everclear. It's definitely legal here but expensive at $17.99 for 750 mL. Makes for an expensive sanitizer. 67.140.182.26 (talk) 07:01, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

• Everclear (alcohol) → Everclear
• Everclear → Everclear (disambiguation)

– Primary topic based on page views. The band receives less than half as many views as the alcohol brand, after which it was named. Schierbecker (talk) 07:09, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Note: Everclear titles a page with significant content and so it is ineligible to be a target title in a move request unless it is also proposed to be renamed. This request has been altered to reflect that fact. P.I. Ellsworth  ed. ^put'r there 02:37, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
