Think of it like energy density.

Think of gasoline. Gasoline has a LOT of energy (calories)

Alcohol is very similar to gasoline. While it’s not as energy dense as gasoline. It is still a combustible liquid.

Imagine how a gallon of gas can move a 2 ton car 20 miles.  How far can 2oz of gas move a car?  How far can 2oz of watered down gas move a human?
