Re: ETOH at WalMart

From:Jeffrey S Crews <cruzetti@juno.com>

In all seriousness, remember that the hardware store ETOH is not going to
be dry. Getting out the final 5% or so of water is an expensive
proposition, so It will probably be 95% or less. It would probably be
fine for routine use up to 95 in a pinch, though.
