I think that is one of the reasons.  The other reason is water is cheaper. ;)

To answer the other question about Alcohol kits.  The Aquamist system is
designed to run either water or Methanol.  If you are going for the most
power I was told at one point to run straight methanol.

I've been squirting Bug Juice for the last two years.   It's basically just
water, methanol and a little detergant and color.  Benefit is that it
doesn't freeze so I don't have to drain it. :)
