Intercooler sprayer question

Would the performance of the stock intercooler sprayer be enhanced if you ran it with a mixture of 50/50 or 25/75 denatured alcohol/water? Can't use too much alcohol because it's flamable...but wouldn't the mixture evaporate at a lower temperature overall, thus carrying away more heat and cooling more efficiently? Has anyone tried this? I searched but didn't find anything but alcohol injection

........true but the efficiency would increase with a 50% Methanol mix over water alone..........washer fluid is 8% methanol if I am not mistaken.
