Especially in cases where transportation involves condoms and body cavities.

Good point. If reconstituted alcohol doesn't suffer the same problem as other similarly restored food items, could save a lot of money. But that begs the question, why don't current manufacturers sell at a higher proof and just recommend adding water?
Its lighter and its less fragile. So, camping trips and suchlike. Carry your light, unbreakable tin of the stuff in, and add water when you get where youre going, and voila, booze!

I posted these back on FoH. I need to actually follow up on what this is.. Anyway, it's 108 grams, hit on iron on a metal detector about 10in down by a creek and it's magnetic. really magnetic..

Heh, well this is going over your head (obviously) but there is a chance it's a meteorite. That's why I'm asking. I sent the pics to a guy before over the Internet and he just asked me how much. Felt like a scam so I didnt follow up. I reached out to a local university and a scientist there wanted to see it, but my luck he was moved to another state for research. I got busy and kind of forgot about it, so I'm going see it thru now.

A good friend of mine has a 100+ lb Russian Terrier that he pretty much uses as a pack horse to carry a case of beer with him camping. I'm starting to think that's the main reason he got the dog.

If you don't get an answer you might want to try

if that doesn't work

Why would its origin change its composition? I thought there are only three elements that are naturally magnetic. Or, do you specifically care that it's a meteorite?

Looks like an alien face on it. Definitely extra-terrestrial.I posted these back on FoH. I need to actually follow up on what this is.. Anyway, it's 108 grams, hit on iron on a metal detector about 10in down by a creek and it's magnetic. really magnetic..
If it were me I'd be trying to bust it open, but I have a thing for breaking rocks.

Of course I care if it's a meteorite. I know it's iron. I said that in the OP. There are certain tests to identify a metorite. Iron being one, magnetic being another and density. I just found his post condescending. The whole Grats? part.. Could be my estrogen levels today../shrug..

I'd be hittin the shit with a hammer for sure.
Seems like you might have a meteorite. I don't think they're all that valuable. Just neat.
Or you might not. You can find some weird, inexplicable shit out in the woods sometimes. We found this giant slab of rough granite with toolmarks running all along it. It had been quarried and moved at some point, but the toolmarks were irregular, the entire slab was irregular, I don't think it had been machined.
Injuns were up to some weird shit back in the day. Who the fuck can even guess what that used to be.

When I said transportation as an advantage, I wasn't referring to end-user, which is slight compared to how much distributors could save not sending liquid everywhere. Think about bars serving mixed drinks using powder for their well alcohol the same way they use syrup for their coke.Its lighter and its less fragile. So, camping trips and suchlike.

Well the problem with that, and likely the problem with this, is the lack of control that introduces into a brand's consistency and quality. Also, I think there is more to producing alcohol than just picking a proof. That is to say, I don't believe your average vodka starts 100 proof and is diluted down to 40.
