Did Hannibal cross the Alps by dissolving boulders with vinegar?

He did it by giving guys poppers and then making them slice off their face with mirror shards and then eating their brains.Didn't you see Silence of the Lambs / Hannibal???!!

Vinegar will dissolve limestone, but the boulders in the Alps were granite and feldspar. Vinegar would have no effect on them. Hannibal did cross the Alps, but he did it through muscle, not chemicals.
