Everclear is available at 190 proof or 95% ethanol in any liquor store. I've never tried burning it, but an ounce in a glass of water makes what I refer to as rocket fuel. Almost tasteless. Very nice, really. Light weight, packs small. You can also clean your rims with it. A cycle tourist would have to be desperate to want to burn drink fuel.
