15 drinks that can kill you From a flavorless drink that can twist
your insides to a drink that is notorious for its alcohol content and to the moonshine drink,
today we will take a look at 15 drinks that can kill you.
Stay tuned until the end of the video for some of the deadliest drinks on the planet.
Let's get started with... Number 15. Cola
We have grown to hear the fact that cola is all about sugar.
But we can't stop consuming it, can we? Though drinking cola with healthy breaks in the middle
is totally fine, drinking it in large amounts or daily can make your life difficult. They not only
lead to weight gain and obesity-linked diseases such as diabetes but their sweetness and acidic
properties are also harmful to your digestive system and tooth enamel. What's more? The caramel
kind of color in cola is created using carcinogens which is literal bad news for your body.
But I bet the Everclear alcohol is way worse than cola. Stay tuned to find out!
Moving on to… Number 14. Sports drinks
The main ingredients in sports drinks are carbs in sugars like sucrose, glucose, and fructose;
however, these elements can be found in different forms. Sports drinks indeed do offer electrolytes
like potassium and sodium, but at the same time, it also incorporates heart-paining amounts of
calories and sugars. But that's not all; even chemical additives and bright chemical colors are
included in the drink, making water a relatively healthy option to drink when you are tired.
Moving on to… Number 13. Slushies
Who doesn't love a slushie? It's sweet, colorful, fun, and the perfect treat for summer. But the
dark side of slushies goes something like this. The beverage is filled with so much sugar that
one can't really tell the difference. But that's only the least depressing part about the drink.
Did you know that most slushy machines are covered in mold and other gross stuff?
"The amount of mold in those machines would crush your childhood into a pulp," this is what
an ex-gas station worker declared on Reddit. But slushies are safer than the Everclear beverage
at number 1, so watch the video till the end. Moving on to…
Number 12. Liquid Coffee Creamer Coffee creamer contains titanium dioxide,
which is an ultraviolet radiation blocker. As a matter of fact, it's completely safe to say that
coffee creamer and sunscreen are similar to each other. Both have an ingredient that can increase
the whitening agent present in the product. According to an analysis of the chemical,
this ingredient is said to cause liver and muscle damage when experimented on rats.
So, there are chances for the drink to have medical consequences in humans as well. However,
apart from its link to poor cardiovascular health, the component has impaired memory in adults.
Moving on to… Number 11. Probiotic-Infused Drinks
According to a Neuroscience study, increased sugar diets are continuously linked to a high
ratio of bad bacteria to good bacteria. This means that initially if you want to strengthen
your digestive health, you must reduce your sugar intake and incorporate probiotics into your diet.
Sadly, several more probiotic beverages are high in sugar, which invalidates the perks of probiotic
bacteria. For instance, take one pack of Tropicana Essentials Pineapple Mango Probiotics juice;
this drink has a jaw-dropping 29 grams of sugar, which is not healthy.
Well, the Everclear booze can even knock you off, so maybe probiotic drinks aren't that bad.
Moving on to… Number 10. Bottled smoothies
If you don't have time to grab breakfast in a busy morning, what is the first thing you look for?
Yes, that's right, store-bought bottled smoothies. Homemade Smoothies can be healthy because you
can keep track of the quantity of sugar mixed, but store-bought is often disappointing. Even
though bottled smoothies can save your time and energy, the nutrient count is relatively low.
Additionally, there will be a rise in the calorie count as company smoothies add vast amounts of
sugar. It's definitely the best idea to play it the safe way and blend your own smoothies.
It only takes about 5 minutes or less than 5 mins to grind some fruits and drink.
Moving on to… Number 9. Cranberry juice cocktail
Cranberries are the fruits that are the lowest in sugar, which is somewhat healthy to drink. So why
is it here on this list? Well, truth to be told, the cranberry cocktails produced in companies
incorporate so much sugar into the drink that it loses its nutritional quality. And the reason why
people still buy cranberry juice is because of its added sugar flavor. We all know how too much sugar
can cause harmful effects on the body, so as a substitute, you can buy the cranberry cocktail
and mix it with an equal proportion of water. At least, it will be healthy and less sweet.
Hang on till you find about the Everclear drink that can cost your life.
Moving on to… Number 8. Tokyo Iced Tea
Long island iced tea or Tokyo iced tea is made of anything but iced tea. The drink becomes
the Tokyo iced tea when mixed with sour mix, cola, vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and triple sec;
as a whole, it depends on how you make it. Due to the green musk melon flavored Midori, the drink is
safe enough to shove down your throat. However, the drink might land you inside an ambulance
due to alcohol poisoning if the drink contains several types of effective ingredients. Infact
one glass of Tokyo iced tea can be a '9 shots of liquor' if combined with powerful ingredients,
which would barely even have a flavor. Moving on to…
Number 7. Four Loko Four Loko sounds like a pretty exciting name
for a drink. But don't be disappointed to know that the beverage only incorporates around 8-12%
pure alcohol. It's nothing special, so why does the drink make it to this list? You see,
it's not the alcohol, but the dangerous load of caffeine mixed in with the booze, making four loko
a threatening drink. Precisely five cups of coffee are present in one 23.5-ounce can of four loko.
You can already imagine the hyperactivity and sugar rush caused by a single can of four loko.
In extreme cases, you might end up in the ER due to a heart attack or alcohol poisoning.
Wait till you hear about Everclear in number one.
Moving on to… Number 6. The Four Horsemen
The four horsemen can be a hazardous cocktail. One part Jim Beam, 1 part Johnnie Walker, 1 part Jack
Daniel's, and Jameson make the ultimate four horsemen. This isn't necessarily safe because
these elements can literally ride over your liver, resulting in a fatal disease or even death.
In other cases, you might experience blackouts. As the drink only consists of spirits, the four
horsemen can be more dangerous than the 'three wise men,' which is a drink made
with One-third of Johnnie Walker, a third of Jim Beam, and a third of Jack Daniels.
Moving on to… Number 5. Liquid Cocaine
Trust the name liquid cocaine because the drink is indeed cocaine
in its liquid form. In case you are wondering about the ingredients present in the glass,
its ¼ oz Bacardi 151 rum, ¼ oz Jägermeister, ¼ oz Rumple Minze liqueur, ¼ oz Goldschläger,
that means this drink isn't playing around with you. Though consuming the drink the
way it should be might not lead you to any dangers, but if it's taken in high amounts,
you might soon encounter the grim reaper as well. There was once a case where a taxi driver happened
to consume loads of liquid cocaine and died from a heart attack caused by cocaine poisoning.
Be careful, guys. Ensure always to check your drink, its ingredients, and the amount of alcohol
present in it. Most importantly, do realize your alcohol capacity before taking shots.
Moving on to… Number 4. The headhunter
By mixing Lime juice, Lemon juice, Coconut milk, Papaya juice, 151 proof rum, Spiced rum,
Orange juice, and Beer, you will be blessed with the ever so fabulous drink, the headhunter.
Though the flamboyant beverage does surprise us with its overwhelming number of ingredients, it
is however not very luxurious. It's just the side effect that starts a fire within you. The result
is beautifully brutal, and hence the headhunter is not for the weak hearts. Especially the 4
ounces of spiced rum that can make you go nuts. To top it off, the drink also contains 151 proof
rum and 4 oz of Beer. Well, upon chugging down the alcohol, you will be teleported to another
dimension where you can dance the night away, but be careful not to cause anyone trouble because the
booze will clearly hunt down your head. Starting now, things get serious. It is now
time to look at the ‘moonshine’, ‘New Orleans hand grenade’, and then finally
the ‘Everclear’ drink like we've been talking about all through this video.
Moving on to… Number 3. Moonshine
Moonshine is typically known as illegal, yet you will find the beverage being sold in many
liquor stores. It's said the 'legal' moonshine isn't the original moonshine. Legal moonshine is
made with white corn whiskey that has never been aged and ingredients common in alcoholic drinks.
It also made inconvenient spaces. However, the 'illegal' moonshine is the booze that can give you
nightmares. And what makes illegal moonshine so risky and dangerous is its methanol content.
Methanol, the real alcohol element of your beverages, is far more hazardous than
ethanol. When ingested, methanol can be utterly undetectable until your body begins to digest it.
If you consume more than 10 ml, you may permanently harm your optic nerve. Drinking
more than 30 mL is potentially lethal and is equivalent to severe alcohol poisoning.
Moving on to… Number 2. New Orleans Hand Grenade
Hand Grenade from New Orleans isn't much different from any other potent cocktails like gin,
vodka, melon liqueur, and rum. All these drinks can get you pretty drunk within a couple of shots.
However, they aren't life-threatening. But that's not the case for New Orleans Hand Grenade.
One such ingredient is among the harmless ingredients present in hand grenades…
and that is 'grain alcohol.' If you are going to consume grain alcohol, then let us warn you
that your body won't react pleasantly. Besides, if you are drinking grain alcohol, it means you
have pure ethanol inside you. The name ethanol is familiar to you, right? Because it's the
same ingredient present in antiseptics, gasoline, solvents and guess what? Rocket fuel as well!
Now we move onto the moment you've all been waiting for…
Number 1. Everclear Unless you want to wave goodbye to your precious
life, don't drink Everclear; the low price and high proof of Everclear make it appealing to some
drinkers, but drinking Everclear can be highly hazardous even in small quantities. Everclear is a
spirit formed from grain. It is the most powerful booze in the industry, with 151 and 190 proof,
75.5 percent and 95 percent, in between. Several other famous beverages, such as rum and vodka,
have less than half the effectiveness of Everclear 190, with proof levels hovering around 80. One
shot of Everclear 190 is capable of boosting the influence of alcohol on the human body.
Everclear can even lead to blood poisoning, which can be pretty fatal. Substance abuse,
deadly car accidents, brain damage, and severe medical issues are other risks of this drink.
Abuse of Everclear can quickly lead to poisoning by alcohol and death as well.
