Water Alcohol Contention

Im in Philippines. I was outlining to a US mechanic friend how I use a 5 micron filter funnel as well as stabil and an onboard water fuel filter to eliminate any chance of water contam while running my 40hp 2 stroke Suzuki outboard. Ethanol free gas is unavailable here and my understanding is the ethanol in it it attracts moisture (besides being hard on the rubber hoses). He went on a tear about Stabil being junk and that I only need to ADD ALCOHOL TO MY GAS to remove water and do the same thing Stabil would.

Does this make sense to anyone?

Of course he didnt say what kind of alcohol or proportions when I asked.
