Default Vinegar/water weed killing solution? NOT!

So is that crackpot Jerry Baker your "master gardener"?

A vinegar in water solution will not kill weeds. Mixed with olive oil, it
would make a nice vinaigrette for your tossed salad but that's about all.

Maybe if you used glacial acetic acid (no water at all) it might work but
that is an extremely toxic and volatile chemical for you to be playing with.

My master gardener suggested a solution of vinegar and water for
killing the weeds that come up between the bricks in my patio.
Unfortunately, she's on vacation now, so I can't ask her: what is the
correct ratio of vinegar to water?
