Depends on the plastic, but most plastics are fine.

Hand sanitizer usually comes in plastic bottles and can be ethanol or isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Also you can buy high percentage isopropyl (and sometimes ethanol) at the drugstore in plastic bottles. Also many large bottles of liquor come in clear plastic versions.

I wouldn't recommend using Plexiglas or acetate though. Alcohol will eat those up.

I haven't had it dissolve plastic per se, but it definitely tastes funky pretty quickly if you're using the sort not intended to store alcohol.

That being said several popular brands offer plastic versions of their product and it's basically the same stuff.

Which plastic? High-density polyethylene or HDPE(Number 2) plastic is rated for most common chemical storage. It's used for milk and sulfuric acid. It's also rated for up to water's boiling temperature.

Well, everything stored in plastic bottles and containers tastes a little plastic-y to me. But alcohol will dissolve all kinds of things that water can't, so I'm pretty sure this is much worse.

The thing to consider is: what quality of distillation comes with a package that's just a little nicer than a plastic bag?

I'm using to dissolve all the micro plastic I've been eating on the sly

Just get a cheap decanter. Problem solved if you're one to take it slow. But something tells me this isn't the target audience here.

Do you not have liquor in plastic bottles? It’s never the good shit, but cheap shit is often in plastic and this is the cheapest shit. As an American I spend about $29ish CAD on 1.5L on dirt cheap local bourbon. Maybe I could get as low as $20 CAD on vodka barely fit for human consumption for 1.5L. But 4L I’m not getting for less than $40 CAD

Drink faster

No we get pure ethanol for the lab in plastic bottles
