I'll send my $0.02 worth here:
Alcohol is a refrigerant, a depressant, and a drying agent. However,
alcohol is only one of many ingredients in beer. Another is carbonation.
Seems to me that carbonation would lead to cavitation. Although many of us
prefer a "brewsky" after a hot day at the <place favorite recreational place
here>, I am not ready to share my beer with my automobile's cooling system.
Neither of us react well to that.

well, uh, .......Bud Lite when desperate.

Subject: [F500] Use Beer as a coolant?
http://www.twitchguru.com/site/flash_videos/beer_cooling_comparison_international_edition.html
I wonder if a car radiator would see a performance difference like that
seen in the cooling capacity of beer and a computer CPU (at rest and under
load).
I would think that the you would certainly need to make sure to get the
foam out of the beer or at least let it go flat before pouring into the
radiator.
Gunsness did not cool as well as Coors which in turn did not do as well as
the German beer (some unpronounceable brand) they used but neither of them
cooled as well as Molson.
Interesting. Anyone going to try it in their car?
