Health & Medical >> Weight cutting w/epson salts and alcohol bath?

I read an article a while back on cutting weight but I can't find the website anymore. The premise was that you could cut about 5 pounds overnight by taking a bath in very hot water with epson salts and rubbing alcohol in the water. I believe the idea was that the alcohol would help open the pours and the increased salinity of the water would draw water out of your body. Can anyone deny of confirm this method and/or offer more details?
