    I've work in the liquor and wine industry for over 30 yrs and way
    back when I graduated with a chemistry degree. One today, at work the
    fire marshal told us we would have to change all the fire protection
    within the warehouse because we carried Everclear in something like
    190 proof this is 95 % ethanol.  So we choose to dump the product. I
    took about four 750 ml bottles home and used them with Boric acid for
    antifirescale coating; it worked perfectly for this function. 	
    However, unless it's a "freebee" I'd use denatured ethanol every
    time. 

Don
