In terms of getting the most alcohol-per-kcal, while also getting the most alcohol-per-bongtoken (£), is there much better than Tesco Value Gin/Vodka?

It may or may not be legal because I don't pay the proper tax for it, but it is cheaper than everclear, so definitely cheaper than any other alcohol you can buy. I'm particularly fond of Decon Labs USP grade 200 proof.

I buy Tesco value range apple juice for £.75/litre, then ferment it in a 32L bucket with airlock, which cost £15. Add cider yeast, £2 on eBay for 23L worth and leave for a month. It comes out at about 8% I’d guess, which equates to something like 4 units (40ml of ethanol) per pint of cider, and costs about 40p/pint. Less than half the price of the cheapest commercially available booze in the uk
(Which is this, incidentally https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/apr/17/cider-industry-protected-expense-alcoholics )

Fermenting cider from apples & pears is the easiest thing in the world; dropped fruit will happily ferment happily all on it's own. Sticking it in a barrel with some yeast to start it off is one of the easiest things you can do.

up to a point. Certain yeast can only handle living up to a set percentage of alcohol no matter how long you ferment. It's possible to get yeast that can ferment up to 20%, but they aren't standard and don't leave the greatest taste(or so I've heard)

true, but if you're aiming to get wasted i think it might be a good idea to add some sugar and get way more out of it for basically the same effort

don't do this. Ethanol azeotropes with water and you can't distill it beyond 95% pure without breaking the azeotrope, which they do usually by using hexane or toluene, both of which are of course poisonous. wouldn't want to risk it even if it's low ppm.

I suppose you could get pure ethanol that's been dehydrated from molecular sieves, but I don't know how many companies post their methods of distillation.
