Rather than dissecting your list why not just compare to this tried and true one from pack guru Winton Porter? I'd add a trash compactor bag for a liner. Gloves and fleece beanie are givens.

You have your alcohol in a nalgene bottle, but I didn't see water bottles listed. Whichever way you go, your fuel bottle should be different than your drinking water bottles so you can tell by feel which is which. Obviously the fuel bottle should be well labeled too.

Instead of carrying a sponge for dishes, I carry a piece of plastic netting cut from a sack of onions. Weighs less, scrubs great, dries faster, doesn't get disgusting by being sealed up in a baggie all day, and you can use a carabiner to clip it around a rock to make it easier to throw your bear bag line.

Great idea.
