The 11 ounce MSR bottle only weighs 4.3 ounces so the weight hit isn't huge, but the bottle isn't even meant for alcohol. Msr says alcohol will damage their bottle.
I just noticed that Vargo sells a plastic bottle specifically designed as an alcohol fuel bottle. The 8 ounce bottle weighs only 9.07 g. I have no experience with it, but lt looks like a good choice.
