Only if frozen and added to the alcohol

Distilled water is cheaper and non-conductive. Plus if you have anything that's acrylic in your loop, which is a pretty common material for reservoirs, alcohol will fucking destroy it.

alcohol is a true 100%(well might conduct if you mix iron powder in it, aka impurities) non-conductive when pure, it is worse on cooling than pure water but when mixed with water, it does better and it evaporates when it leaks, so you dont have to dry it out ;)

Pure water is non-conductive. Supermarket distilled water is not pure water. It's impossible to have pure water in a loop. As soon as the water runs through blocks, rads, fittings, metal ions will be present.
