I'm curious to know if the alka-seltzer method is chemically valid, and
why it works -- not just that it works.

First question.... this group should know the answer... where can one
purchase pure grain alcohol (ethanol)?

Will the additives to denatured alcohol interfere with the chemical
reaction with the alkaseltzer?

The "plain" Everclear comes in two strengths: 153 proof and 190 proof
(95% ethanol).

Everclear and GoldenGrain are 5% water.
It is hard to get pure ethanol because as soon as it is exposed to air, it
will suck any moisture out of the air and into the ethanol. If you had a
bottle of pure ethanol, and opened the lid and let it sit for a few minutes,
it would no longer be pure ethanol.

How quickly? Sure once you open it it is no longer pure, but it may be
"pure enough".

Hopefully we won't need too much Alka Seltzer after the party. BTW, do you
recommend getting a rental car?

Nah -- we'll pick you up at the airport, food and drink are free at the
inn, and you can always use our courtesy van. (Of course, there may be
a few others tagging along with you, and I'll be using it to buzz back
and forth from the airport, which is a whopping 400 yards away... :-)

Hertz is on the field at our airport now, but Enterprise is just a few
blocks away, will come pick you up, and are about 30% cheaper. If you
really think you need a car, I'd recommend Enterprise.
