Point well taken. But for beer guzzlers, here's a DIY approach. If you own a 'still', then you can slowly distill off the liquid from a case (or 2, or 3 or 4) to make your own syrup/concentrate. First, because of its lower vapor pressure, the alcohol will distill. Save it, of course - duuuuhhhhh!!! The water will follow. Careful! The process must be carried out with low temp - low heat to avoid evaporating essential oils 'n essences. So come on, you moonshiners, use a little finesse. Once you're down to the syrup or the concentrate, U R N business. Carrying the equivalent of 3-4 cases of brew in your backpack will only occupy a small compartment - well worth the backpack real estate, I can assure you. Don't forget your home made ever-clear. Adding roughly 0.6oz of ethyl alcohol to a 12oz bottle of your concentrate 'n rehydrating will get you part way there. All you need is your trusty FiZZ GiZ to add the bubbles for your sudsy treat. Find the details at http://www.fizzgiz.com for a hand-held portable carbonation tool the size 'n shape of a banana that weighs 3.2-ounces. The FiZZ GiZ carbonator uses 16g beverage grade co2 cartridges. A single bulb will adequately carbonate 4-liters of suds. So, carry on camper community. Don't go 'round thirsty.
