Re: Everclear as a disinfectant

Thanks SGT, that was exactly what I wanted to hear. I prefer Jack Danials so 
the temptation will be minimal.

  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.
