[pct-l] RE: Bacardi Rum as Fuel

[msaenz at mve-architects.com (Mike Saenz)]

Now THAT'S what I call "Alcohol Abuse"....

I was commenting on the multi-fuel capabilities of my stove with my hiking partner and the idea that a very high proof liquor should burn as well as some of the other listed fuels. And then I remembered my high school chemistry: "The more distilled alcohol is, the lighter it gets..."
But really, if I had a pint of 151, I'd forget about cooking....

Oh now you've done it, my Irish Grandfather is rolling over in his grave at
the suggestion of using perfectly good heart medicine in such a manner--and
so close to St. Patrick's day.  I can still hear him saying, "Moderate
consumption of alcohol is good for the heart little Johnny, and as you know,
I have a very strong heart."
