[Elecraft] denatured alcohol vs. Everclear

[Lee Ormiston]

To add another thought to the medical doctor's good comments, when I was in
school studying chemistry, some of my slower friends studying less
rigorous subjects thought it would be a good idea to drink straight
Everclear.  They quickly and painfully learned the Everclear pulled water
from the tissues in their mouth which then blistered.  They reported it was
all very painful.
