OK if you want to get rid of a pint or two, but if you live in the boondocks 
and have a septic tank instead of city plumbing, gallons of used chemicals 
poured down the drain will have you calling the Honey Dippers in short order. 
Rule of thumb - Never flush anything down the toilet that you havn't eaten first. 
Toilet paper is the only exception.
