You reply to every single goddamn thread with the same **** and it was funny for about 3 seconds. You're a dumb ****ing gimmick, so please get the hell out or alternately kill yourself. |

Denatured is used for thinning shellac, a good clean fuel for lamps, and it's used in my Braun auto cleaning electric shaver solution. |

Denatured alcohol is alcohol which has been adulterated with additives which will make you sick if you drink it, and/or make it unpalatable. Rubbing alcohol is typically isopropyl alcohol or denatured ethanol. I think methanol (wood alcohol) is too poisonous to use as rubbing alcohol, as it can cause serious problems even when merely absorbed through the skin. |

Once you open the bottle, it will suck moisture from the air and turn itself into 190 proof (or less) just like Harry said. Ed |

No; the reason that ethanol is generally sold for consumption at no higher concentration than 95% (190 proof) is that it is all *distilled* spirits. When you distill alcohol from any of the usual plant sources (grapes, potatoes, whatever), the purest concentration is a 95% azeotrope with 5% other organic impurities. There's no reason you couldn't drink 100% (200 proof) alcohol. It's just that it's that 5% impurity that imparts whatever flavor there is in it. While I'm not sure how *fast* pure alcohol absorbs water, I doubt it's anywhere near as fast as you suppose. -- C.R. Krieger (Too many years in chemlabs) |
