Is this alcohol good for drinking? I would like to make alcohol garlic extract.

NO!!!! You should never drink Isopropyl alcohol! You want a high proof ethyl alcohol like everclear or even vodka if you plan on ingesting an alcohol extract like you describe

If you drink this, you may go blind. This is not the right kind of alcohol for consumption, this is for cleaning and disinfecting.

What a coincidence - I just used this again last night. I overstuffed it a bit, which I don't recommend since you're not grinding it as well to start off with. Overstuffing it also results in some of the garlic juice leaking up the sides. However, I still ended up with very nicely minced fresh garlic. I've used it a number of times and still find it just as effective as the first time. I think it's a novel idea and good product, and it's held up well.

It's a combination of extract and vanilla bean seeds, so I would say yes, a minimal amount of alcohol would be present; from the extract itself.

I DO NOT drink it. It is more for arthritis pain, back pain etc. It dissolves into the skin immediately and very shortly the skin is smooth and the pain in my hands lessens.Remember it is a byproduct of the making of wood pulp. When you first use it, it smells a little like garlic, but that, too, goes away when it absorbed. Sometimes it will sting your skin or itch if the skin is dry, I just moisturize the area with lotion. There is a lot of information out there. Google DMSO. It is used in some medicinal form for UTIs, but it is done from the DR. I hope this helps.

I have used it for a month. I do not think it has any alcohol in it. I am happy with this product. Thanks

The extracts may contain a tiny amount of alcohol. The amount of alcohol would be so small that only a chemist could measure the amount. If you are that concerned, send an email to the manufacturer.

Its an oil, very concentrated. I dont think it has any alcohol. Be very careful because it is surprisingly strong and burns/stings if used undiluted.

I also spoke with a Good Seasons customer rep who confirmed Cheese Garlic is discontinued. Since it is discontinued, I asked if the company would consider supplying customers with a comparable recipe for it. The rep thought this was a good idea that he would pass on to the company. Have been using it for decades.

Short answer, yes. But that's what I would kind of figure from garlic that's been totally crushed. My beef with this thing is that it is hard to get the garlic out from between its teeth. Even bonking it hard on a cutting board doesn't seem to budge it much...

Used mine up already. Looks like from the answers below it does contain alcohol.

Absolutely. Vodka is what I used for my vanilla extract - turned out great.

Not sure?? Haven't used this in a while, but liked it when I used it. I've been using fermented cod liver oil lately.

Some kind of chemical reaction occurs between the stainless and Garlic oil. The exact science I cant explain to you but the bar does work! :)

I'm sorry but I won't be much help. I made this purchase for a senior citizen friend who wanted Garlic oil as an ear remedy -- as an old-time cure for ear aches. At the time, to me, it looked like it should be used in food preparation -- such as adding garlic flavor to salad dressings or casseroles. I'm only guessing, but if the word "Pancrease" is referring to an old-time remedy for the pancreas that hadn't been proven scientifically, they could get away with the claim by using that term. Good luck with your search!

I am not sure how to answer this. i purchased it for a medieval recipe that i was entering in a contest. it only required a tsp and the flavor was noticable w/o being overpowering. it is safe to drink and has a pleasant odor.

Yes. I would recommend rinsing it between cloves/loads though because if you don't, some of the skin from the previous load can get in there. I agree that there is a small amount of garlic waste; about 10-15%

There is no alcohol. It has a list of homeopathic ingredients / herbs. The inactive ingredients are sterile water, sodium chloride, citrates, polysorbate 80.
