I have access to 100% isopropyl alcohol, and was wondering if anyone has used it as coolant in a WC loop? Would there be any issues? I figured since it always feels colder then room temp... maybe it would do well?

I thought of the beer too.

Alcohol will shatter any acrylic reservoir, dissolve any paint on inside of fittings, melt your tubes, and it's got less heat capacity than water by half.

Apart from that it's a good idea :p

Oh and its flammable.
 
It just feels cool because it evaporates quickly and that takes heat energy. In your WC loop you don't have that.
