Can you winterize a Keurig coffee maker?
Well can you? I turn it upside down but no water comes out. I know there is a bunch in there. Or do I have to leave it home?

DO NOT PUT ALCOHOL IN YOUR KEURIG!
Alcohol boils at a lower temperature than the brewer is designed to heat water to. Because of this the brewer will not stop trying to heat the alcohol as the it will never reach the final brew temperature and stop heating like water would cause it to do.
Long story short, you will now have an appliance that will overheat, burn out the heating element and possibly hurt someone. Don't do it!
