I've only heard of isopropyl 70% being used(do not use the 99% kind). Yeah, stuff smell like alcohol for a sec, but since most of it burns off it's not really a problem. I haven't tried Bacardi on skin, wouldn't recommend it personally. I used to use lighter fluid on myself when I was younger. Strongly advice against using that on a sub though. It gets hot, does burn the skin a bit, and you have to _be_ the person on fire to really know how fast to put it out imho. The potential for turning yourself or your sub into a roman candle is way too high. The same may be true with Bacardi.
As to the breathing of air by living critters, there are beasties that live at the bottom of the sea(on volcanic cracks) for whom oxygen is still deadly poison. Used to be all life on earth was allergic to the stuff. Oh, and fire _does_ for all intents and purposes, breathe air. Oxygen in fact. The only scientific argument for fire not being alive would be a morphological one. It doesn't have a body with the physical characteristics shared by all other identified life on earth. And even that classification is somewhat fuzzy, as Viruses don't really share all the scientific classifications of life...just most of em(kinda like fire). Are they alive? I guess it all depends on your point of view.
