Description
Alcohol is a relatively safe and versatile volatile liquid at room temperatures. When exposed to vacuum it will decompose into Methane to form a small head pressure.

Usage
Alcohol has the highest enthalpy of combustion per mol of all Fuels at 566 kJ/mol, but the high amounts of Steam generated as combustion byproducts limit its maximum achievable combustion temperature.
It is also relatively safe to be used in a Pressure-Fed Liquid Engine with Nitrous Oxide because it autoignites at 150°C.
However, it evaporates into Methane which autoignites at a lower temperature.

Sources
Alcohol can be obtained by fermenting Crops, Seeds, Biomass or Decayed Food in the Fermenter.
