You have a good memory. I think that was in '98! Two people reported
excellent bitters results.

I tried it twice myself, but got mediocre results .... and to me,
smell of alcohol lingering on my skin was nasty.

My poor results led me to believe that in the two cases, one of whom I
quizzed personally .... the good stain may have been due to them
imbibing generously during the henna application. Alcohol in the
tummy warms up the hands.

I didn't continue testing it myself as I just couldn't handle the
sicky-woozy alcohol smell lingering on my skin. However, as
terpineol, cineol, geraniol, etc, are all alcohols .... there may be
some good to working with bitters.
