is composed of various kinds of complex molecules, of particular interest: alcohol. The cloud contains ethanol, vinyl alcohol, and methanol. […] An ester, ethyl formate, […] is also responsible for the flavour of raspberries, leading some articles on Sagittarius B2 to postulate the cloud as smelling of ‘raspberry rum’. Large quantities of butyronitrile (propyl cyanide) and other alkyl cyanides have also been detected as being present in the cloud.
True, but you’d have something more potent than both Everclear or the most potent Sakes and Vodkas. As long as you make a proper fruity drink with that stuff, (1 oz of pure ethanol would be equivalent to almost 3×1 oz shots of a standard vodka) and you’d have a banging Sex on the Beach, Long Island Iced Tea, Kamikaze, Vulcan Mind Probe, or many other mixed drinks.
Hunh. The Sagittarius B2 interstellar cloud:
Cool stuff.
I don’t know about “drinkable” though. It’ll turn you blind at best.
Biologist here! From this list of substances, you’d absolutely die from a shot of this cloud.
I’d try it anyway lol
Death by Raspberry Cloud. Got a nice ring to it.
Death by INTERSTELLAR Raspberry Cloud has an even better ring to it.
Pangalactic gargle blaster levels of rings if you catch my toiletteries
Sounds like a new energy drink. I bet it would sell well
Sounds like a new wave rock album title.
Only one man would give me the raspberry!
I’m sold. T-Minus 10… 9…
Everything is drinkable once, with a strong enough blender.
Don’t breathe this!
I’m sure there’s a way to extract the ethanol. That’s drinkable at least.
But then you’d lose all the raspberry goodness!

It’s drinkable, probably not very enjoyable though
