You can buy 190 (or is it 180) proof Everclear at your friendly local
liqour store most places. (pure grain alcohol). I use it to
disinfect hummingbird feeders since fungi and other stuff tends
to grow in the sugarwater. I can't boil 'em because of the plastic,
and I cant use rubbing alcohol due to it's being poison. With Everclear,
it might make 'em drunk but it won't kill  them...(although I do rinse
the feeders quite throughly).
