Is it safe to put whiskey inside an air diffuser? - I want my house to smell like Bourbon.

[Cheeseknife]

I enjoy the smell of Bourbon, but I've reservations that my diffuser will break or something in the house will be set aflame.

It may work, it depends on what temperature the air diffuser operates at. One of the major components of Whiskey that acts as a solvent, and thus a carrier for substances dissolved in it, vaporizes at 173 °F, with the next vaporizing at 212 °F. If it gets to at least 173 °F you'll likely smell something, with it being a more complete scent profile at 212 °F. I wouldn't worry too much about anything bursting into flames. The auto-ignition temperature for ethanol is ~800 °F. The fusel alcohols and other volatiles present may have an auto-ignition temperature below that, but I guarantee they are still much higher than 212 °F so I wouldn't be too concerned.

...why would you do that when you can drink it...?

I've quit drinking as of a few years ago. I still have a drink or two on occaision, but I don't want it to become a temptation. Rather than just dump the bottles I have left, I was figuring out how to use them for other purposes. I have a friend from church who makes soap bars at home and we figured out how to make Bourbon soap. Really cool. I found a video that talks about it here:

...I'm sorry, I see you are writing English words, but they make no sense whatsoever the way you are putting them together...

Well, it will allow you to get pissed really easily. Iirc there is or was a bar in england(?) that used gin(?) in that way. You would get an overall so your clothes wouldn't get soaked while getting drunk by inhaling the gin.

...ever heard of scented candles, nigga?

Yeah, I know, it's pretty fucking gay, but wasting alcohol in such a retarded way is even gayer.

try Zyklon B instead

I'd have to buy one. I already have the liqor.

wasting alcohol

Wasting would be just pouring it down the toilet. I'm still using the whiskey, just in an unconventional way. It smells great, by the way.

Nah, that stuff is reserved for anyone crossing the US southern border.
