(14,400 posts)1. I can't believe people drink that shit
but then again I've had Jaeger shots followed up with no-name beer during college so maybe I shouldn't be so judgemental.

So I understand your comments and sympathize!

(14,400 posts)6. I was at a wedding two years ago
and a few of my younger cousins came around with a tray of shots. I smelled that stuff from about 10 feet away and the hair on my arms stood up. It was a real fight or flight response, I chose flight.

Does the following quote sound familiar?
"Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol."
Sounds scary, eh? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrogen_monoxide_hoax
This article is the same sort of hysterics. "OH MY GOD IT'S IN ANTI-FREEZE! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!???"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_glycol
"Propylene glycol is currently exempted from REACH registration. As such with within the EU it bares no warning signs or GHS codes, as it is legally classified as harmless."
