What is it about?
In a previous paper (JPCA, 118, 8563 (2014)), I suggested that ethanol might affect micellar phase boundaries in liquid scintillation cocktails, confounding efficiency tracing measurements. Here, I show that ethanol can affect micellar phase boundaries in some surfactant systems. But not in commercial scintillation cocktails.

Why is it important?
It means that matching ethanol content across quenched cocktails in an efficiency tracing experiment is probably not necessary. That's good, since nobody does it.
