Which alcohol makes you most drunk?

No specific type of alcohol inherently gets you drunker; it's the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) consumed and the speed of consumption that matters, but spirits (liquor) have the highest alcohol by volume (ABV) and can lead to faster intoxication if consumed quickly in shots, while drinks with congeners (like whiskey) can also affect you differently. Strongest commercially available spirits, like Poland's 95% ABV Spirytus, will get you intoxicated extremely fast due to their high alcohol concentration, but even standard 40% ABV vodka or whiskey, when consumed rapidly, packs a bigger punch than beer or wine. 

Is everclear illegal?

Yes, the 190-proof version of Everclear (95% alcohol) is illegal in many U.S. states due to its extreme strength, with states like Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania banning it to curb binge drinking and assaults, though lower-proof versions (like 151-proof) are sold as a workaround, and it's also prohibited on airplanes by the FAA.

It emphasizes pacing to let the liver process alcohol and limits intake to reduce risks associated with heavier drinking, aligning somewhat with official recommendations for men (2 drinks/day) and women (1 drink/day) but with a focus on daily/occasional limits.
