has.\u00a0 This valuable commodity has several uses from a survival perspective that are worth examining.\u00a0 In this piece, we will be examining the three most common types available to you.\u00a0 Let\u2019s jump right into it and give you something you can use!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ethanol<\/strong> (C<sub>2<\/sub>H<sub>5<\/sub>OH) is the common form of alcohol that you consume as a beverage\/within a beverage.\u00a0 There are different percentages of alcohol per different beverages.\u00a0 Here are some rough \u201cguidelines\u201d of the percentages:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/Five Handy Household Uses for Vodka\">Vodka<\/a> (usually 40%), Brandy (usually 40%), Scotch (40-60%), Grain alcohol (85-95%), Gin (37-60%).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Methanol<\/strong> is also known as wood alcohol (CH<sub>3<\/sub>OH).\u00a0 As the name implies, it is taken from wood, and its main use is in industry, and in high-performance engines such as racecars and \u201cmonster\u201d trucks, as well as other <a href=\"http:\/\/readynutrition.com\/resources\/this-new-car-engine-is-a-preppers-dream-come-true_19062016\/\">specialty engines<\/a>.\u00a0 Methanol does not give a flame off when burning and can be put out with water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Isopropyl<\/strong> alcohol (also called <strong>\u201crubbing\u201d alcohol<\/strong>) sees a use in several different household needs from cleaning to disinfecting.\u00a0 Isopropyl (C<sub>3<\/sub>H<sub>8<\/sub>O) alcohol is widely available in all your grocery and big-box stores and varies in concentration from about 50% all the way up to 99% (usually found in feed stores or hardware stores in that concentration).<\/p>\n<p>Now for winter considerations, here is an important chart for you that lists the freezing points (the point of transition between the liquid becoming a solid and vice-versa) of alcohols:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44911\"
