It was equivalent to moonshine, but you knew it was safe.

Add some triple distilled water and you could make your own vodka to
whatever proof you desired.

It is also kept in any hospital pharmacry, at least it was in my
college days.

I have a few bottles of the pharmacy stuff left. The military uses it to
clean electronics, and I use it to clean all sorts of things. It isn't
the same as what you buy in the store as everclear - this stuff is super
cleaned of impurities and other chemicals. Never tried drinking it
though, my taste buds run more towards dark rum.
