    Where do you get your drinks from? :eek:

    Most legal drinks have a much lower alcohol content than that!

    70% alcohol by volume is 140% proof US system and 122.5% proof our system, what drinks are you thinking of?

    The highest I've seen for sale in the UK is 57%.

    BTW, It's degrees proof, not percent proof.

    A cockup on my part (obviously!)
    I should have stated that 70% alcohol by volume is far higher than just about all common spirits.

    Can you legally post vodka from the UK to the US? Are there any laws that prohibit this?

    I have googled and got mixed results :/


    check online with some retailers in the USA as it may be cheaper to buy online from a USA retailer/suppier and post from them within the USA.

    I have done this several times with drinks / flowers etc. to family members living in the USA

    And now all this talk of alcohol has made me really thirsty:rotfl:
