Psycho Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Believe it or not.....I live in Cyprus and yesterday we went to a wine/beer refinery and during our tour our guide showed us a water-like liquid which he said is called water of life and it's quite poisonous as it is 85+% volume alcohol.What are the chances of something like this?

gryphon Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 About what part ?I've seen alcohol of 98% or somthing like that. Used to clean my LP and casset player with it ;D . Then it got banned and now it's against the law to buy, sell or posess here.And Water of life, . . . think I've heard that before, not quit shure though.You can also buy Spice. Usually a Toko sells it.[ Don't forget the "Old Spice" ;D ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 There is also a drink called the water of life in a bar my friend used to go to. Not many people can handle it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 And it was probably not 98%, but 96%. Because you can't get more than 96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Yes you can. Hospitals and laboratory's sometimes use 99. something % of pure alcohol.It's just that legally it can't be soled. That against the law. But some years ago here in The Netherlands you could still buy 9something percentage alcohol at the drugstore. Only it had some kind of poison in it so you could use if to drink.So nowedays you can't buy 98% as a regular customer. But alcohol of those percentages is being used by some.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 No, when the alchohol comes over 96 in percent it starts to evaporate :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 That's why it comes [ and came in the drugstore ] in those sealed bottles, with those enoing tops you have to penetrate and then seal themselfs.when you took the top of and started cleaning the heads of your tape deck, leaving it open for a long time made you have to go back to the store and buy another bottle.

Melange?In Melange is a 'Butter' Company... ...But is there a spice named melange?Wrong Thorup...U can get 98%, but then its "gass" (what is it named in eng. the name of oxygen, hydrogen++) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 I have releazed that it was wrong, no need to repeat what gryphon said. He enlightened me very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 100% ethanol is still technically liquid at rt and pressure... but it evaporates pretty fast because of the fact that it is close to the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
