RE: Everclear as a disinfectant

It is more pure than rubbing alcohol, so you could use it for anything
you might use rubbing alcohol for. And since it is ethyl alcohol, it
isn't toxic. Plus, it has 12,550 BTUs per pound instead of 10,200 like
methyl alcohol so more heat per ounce of fuel.

The down side is you would probably drink it instead of cook with it -
LOL. Besides that, it is about 10 times as expensive as denatured
alcohol.

Cost is not a consideration.
Can I use Everclear liquor as fuel,disinfectant, and consumption?
I was looking to save weight on disenfectant and knew rubbing alcohol
wasn't very effecient as a fuel.
