Default alcohol not water

has anyone tried to use any other liquid in there water rigs so the water doesnt freeze, and achieve lower temps using a chiller or something.

how about alcohol would that work.

I'm just gonna use beer and install a tap inline. When I get thirsty, a cold brew is no farther than floppy drive away.

I should prolly leave out the glow stuff, you think?

Cant, its carbonated

I am thinking, a Martini cooling system. Non carbonated, and when you need a martini just open a valve a lil. A shaken and stirred martini

With an alcohol based system instead of water. IF you get a leak, instead of putting out the fire, it will burn your house to the ground. You'll be remembered with a Darwin award.

better use boiling-point-petrol (?) that is used to clean everything in and around the house..

in dutch its called washing petrol or boiling-point-petrol -> cause its boiling point = 100C..

BUT...
  • it can hold half the warmth water can..
    u need to double your flowrate to achieve the same results.
    its FLAMMABLE!
    it can be used way below -100C
    its cheap!
