alcool-ethanol-from-cane-sugar.JPG Sugar cane ethanol is great.  You can smell a subtle caramel scent that comes from it.  Click here to access internet olfactory interface Its great stuff to gargle with or rinse your skin with or use as aftershave. The nice thing about ethanol is that its not toxic like isopropyl alcohol.  Thus you can use it like gin to brush your teeth and they will feel very smooth.  The caramel scent is there because when you heat sugar it caramelizes.   Your body will absorb some alchohol if you rub it on your skin.  Thus using USA rubbing alcohol you are going to absorb a much less friendly version of alcohol with Isopropyl. I can buy 1 liter for the equivalent of 2 dollars here in Brazil.  Its one of those small subtle delights you can have on the cheap.  Its not denatured and I have seen guys that look like they are preparing for a picnic pick up 10 bottles at a time.  Not a good idea but I think they do drink it.  But then it is their body after all. But the USA is too uptight about taxing every last drop of ethanol.   They want to protect the jerks who control this particular business.  Its very annoying to me.   I am not a drinker and all I get when I drink is a headache.  But I do like to rinse with it. If you do get your hands on some of this stuff make sure to stay away from open flame.  Its highly flamable and its what they use to light their barbeque grills!!
