Potter hasn't a clue as to what rubbing alcohol is, nor much
about anything else as far as I can tell.

What about my offer to work with you, Potter (in these newsgroups,
if you like) to tutor you in some physics concepts. Heck, we are
all learners! Since you have a dislike of GTR, we could stick with
classical Newtonian Physics... Come on Potter, save your flames
for another newsgroups... let's talk physics!

When I was at school, our anatomy lab
had pails of ethyl alcohol around and we were told
there was an additive that made it poisonous.
But a 4th year fellow informed us that was
a lie to deter us from taking it home.
So we immediately filled a 40 with 100% ethyl
for a party and put 2 cups into the punch.
The punch was deadly.
A fellow came out to ask what was in it and
insisted that he could take a swig
of what was in the bottle directly.
We advised against.
He went ahead and did it.
Someone caught the bottle.
He got back up after awhile.
