A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia

You ever heard of Bacardi 151? It was an alcohol that was 151 proof. 75% alcohol by volume.
My friend used to buy this $80 bottle. It was huge. Bought it every week. We'd do shots from 7pm, until ?????. We'd wake up the next day, bottle empty, no clue what happened past 10pm, but we'd always find evidence we were up until at least 6am.
They don't even MAKE that stuff anymore because they said it was too dangerous.
Now I drink like 6-8 beers and I'm thinking its getting late.
~~They still make and sell 151.~~ Hell I can buy Everclear (190 proof) at Walmart where I live.
edit: I stand corrected they stopped making 151 in 2016, though Everclear is still on the market.
