Can you buy ethonal at the liquor store?

Question

Since its an alcohol.

Plus, can beer, gin, rum.etc. be used as a fuel for cars?

Answer 1

Talking about Everclear right?  $15-20 for a 750mL? Not worth it.  

Not to mention, thats only 195 Proof, the other 2.5% is water/impurities.

Answer 2

Yes, ethanol is the same alcohol that you drink, but most hard liquor is at best 50% alcohol and the rest mostly water.

Answer 3

Ethanol is in all alcoholic beverages, but I really wouldn't recommend trying to run your car on them.  They probably have a lot of other stuff in them that could really mess up your engine.

Answer 4

yes you can buy ethanol at the liquor store, but as the others have indicated the level of alcohol is not high enough to run as a motor fuel. you need at least 160 proof to run as a fuel, but higher is better. but going to a liquor store to buy your motor fuel is defeating the purpose of finding a fuel that is lower in price than gasoline, since buying a gallon of gin is far more expensive than a gallon of gasoline.

Answer 5

Ethanol is the alcohol that people drink so, yes you can buy it in the form of beer,brandy,etc.And,no beer,gin and rum cannot be used as fuel for cars.
