Everclear would work, but its not available in every state. Everclear is a name brand 95% alc. You can also get "Grain Alcohol" or "Grain Spirits" which are the same thing.
Alpha Lipolic Acid (ALA) was orignally added to Creatine/Dextrose supplements as it was claimed to increase insulin sensitivity. However, at higher dosages .7-3.5g daily, it provides other extensive benefits such as Liver protection, Anti-oxidant properties, etc. Search some more b/c there is a great article floating around on here that is really long and has lots of great info on ALA. Hope this helps!
