If I can't find HEET, would any gas line antifreeze work for an alcohol
stove?

Generally, if the gas line antifreeze bottle label says it has alcohol in 
it, it will work. Two types are out there, methyl alcohol (best) and 
isopropyl alcohol (less desireable).  Methyl burns blue and clean, isopropyl 
burns yellow and more sooty.  Don't use rubbing alcoho, it's 30% water. 
Here's a website that details alcohol stove fuels.
