Don't imaging any drink for human consumption would be that strong. Whilst working for a pharmaceutical company once I was analysing one of their raw materials. The analysis consisted in serial dilutions in pure ethanol with 2% hydrochloric acid. Sucked a bit too hard on the pipette and got half a mouthful of the brew. That night whilst eating dinner the 1st layer of skin came away from the inside of my mouth. You could give the vodka a try. Soime brands of methylated Spirits sold out here in Oz are mostly ethanol could be worth investigating. Perhaps methanol could be substituted, the phenolphthalein definately prefers to be disolved in alcohol. Have to be even more careful not to get this mix on your skin though. Regards Paul Gobert.
