Default Propane vs Alcohol

Bob wrote back to say:
Hey Red, Be very carfull about drinking that stuff you have. It might
be the super "dry" alcohol that uses Benzine to extract what little
water is in the ETOH mixture. What I can remember is the 95% ETOH is
okay to drink its the 98% that will kill you cause of the added
benzine to extract the water.


Thanks for the warning Bob, but no worry - I don't plan on drinking it.
There's nothing on the bottle that alludes to benzine on the assay list.
Some things on the label on the bottle says:
Ethyl Alcohol, Absolute, ACS
Flash Point 57deg. F
Specific Gravity at 15.56deg. C .... 0.794
Made by AAPER Alcohol and Chemical Co.
Shelbyville, KY

It does smell good though...
