I'm not liking that notion either.

Maybe just boiled into distilled water?

Ethanol Toxicosis in Cats

Exposure to ethanol, either orally or through the skin, is a common
source of toxicity in household pets. Depression of the central nervous
system is typical of ethanol poisoning -- expressed as drowsiness, lack
of coordination or loss of consciousness. Other effects may include
damage to body cells, and symptoms such as incontinence, slowed heart
rate, and even heart attack.

Ethanol poisoning in cats can occur as a result of exposure to dyes,
inks, disinfectants, mouthwashes, paints, perfumes, pharmaceuticals,
gasoline, and certain beverages.
