What is the highest alcohol content?
The highest alcohol content physically possible is 100% abv (alcohol by volume) although this is not suitable for human consumption. The highest alcohol content for a distilled beverage is around 190 proof or 95% abv for grain spirits such as Everclear or Gem Clear. These highly flammable beverages are most often mixed with non-alcoholic drinks such as fruit juices, or in a large communal punch bowl as in "jungle juice." As most liquor is between 40 and 50% abv, the ingestion of such spirits often causes extreme intoxication.

How do they get the whole pear in the brandy bottle?
The classic French pear brandy is the Williams Pear Brandy, which contains -- you guessed it! -- a Williams Pear. The pear isn't put into the bottle; it grows inside it. When the fruit is small, the bottle is affixed to the tree branch, and the pear grows to maturity inside the bottle. Brandy made from Williams Pears is added, and voila! The magic is complete.
Having once purchased a bottle out of curiosity (and having enjoyed the brandy immensely), I sought out the answer to this very question. And yes, if you live in a climate that is conducive to growing pears -- and a former neighbor of mine in Lake Arrowhead, CA, is a candidate for doing this, since she grows terricif pears! -- please do try it!

Work out what cocktails you are going to make beforehand. Have a variety of cocktails but limit to a mangable number.

Try making the cocktails a few nights before to get the mixes right (doing this on the afternoon of the party may not be a good idea...)
Make sure that you have all of the ingredients (including ice!) and equipment prepared (chilled or frozen if necessary) before guests arrive. Have plenty of glasses so that you not constantly washing up.
Have appropriate music selected and playing when guests arrive.
Serve food and water/soft drinks.
Avoid cocktails with cream. They are usually disgusting.
Can you drink alcohol while being pregnant?
Rubbing alcohol is very drying to the skin. I would recommend a hypoallergenic oil, lotion or cream and never use Vaseline, baby oil or mineral oil! They are made from petroleum and are considered to be carcinogenic, which means they may cause cancer. Read your labels. They do not absorb into the skin very well either. Cold-pressed vegetables, nut oils, and seed oils are the best and most widely used. You can use essential oils for fragrance but be careful because some may cause allergic reactions or be bad for nursing/pregnant women.
If you choose to massage with rubbing alcohol it will not harm the fetus since it does not get into the blood stream. If you have any concerns about this, you should consult with your doctor.
As far as application methods, it is usually mixed with a bit of water so it is not full strength. And, it is recommended for swollen, warm and tender feet. It is usually applied with a piece of cotton and rubbed under the feet.
If you rub allot of alcohol on your body you will inhale the fumes which will get in you blood stream and can be detected in a urine sample...There fore in your fetus.
