I don't know if you all have a Sonic near you...little fast food restuarant...but anyways whenever I drink ever clear I always mix it with a Cherry Limeade from there...you really can't taste the EC at all...I love it. I've done shots of it before too. It's a bit harsh, but so is Bacardi 151....doesn't bother me too much anymore...I can usually drink almost anything.lol. But yeah that shit will get you wasted. I'm not a big drinker anymore though...just occasional wkend I'll drink.
