Alcohol(-like) alternatives and/or more info about Kethol

Looking for just what the post says. I'm aware of Ketohol and 2M2B/tert-Amyl alcohol but the former is far too expensive for this purpose without any alternative sources and the latter has a bunch of cons that make it unappealing to many (lasts hella long and tastes God awful apparently). I'm far too educated in drugs, the drug world, and psychoactives in general for my own good, but feel like I'm not remembering a couple things that fit into this category I'm exploring.

Btw, I'm not asking for something like Gabapentinoids or anything. I'm prescribed Lyrica and have a decent Phenibut stash, so I'm good there. Just looking for something to use occasionally on the bad days in between my recreational use days of the stuff I just mentioned. I do actually use most of my Lyrica the way it's intended (for a bunch of nerve damage that symptomatically acts much like fibromyalgia and sciatica), but just save up my extra/unused doses for the fun days in question

I'm also curious really curiois about Ketohol if anyone has any more info on it. I've read a few posts on multiple subreddits about it and R-1,3 butanediol and it's really got me curious. Regular 1,3 Butanediol, as in the type containing both R and S enantiomers, apparently or supposedly produces the same sort of as just the R version, but there must be some reason they specifically went with the version they did and can't figure out why. The regular type is food safe and far cheaper to produce which makes it even more confusing. Considering for gd expensive it is, ~$80 for fuggin six pack, you'd figure they'd want to come up with a cheaper option as a way of hopefully gaining new costumers so they can give it a try. I'm guessing that most taste even worse than the R enantiomer version or something since it apparently isn't all that pleasant even when comparing it to actual alcohol. Idky where I'm going with all this, but would love to know more

Note to any admin here, I'm not asking for sourcing or pointing anyone anywhere, plus Ketohol is even more legal than alcohol
