Stable　foams　were　generated　using　a　cationic　gemini　surfactant,　ethanediyl-1,2-bis(dodecyldimethylammonium　bromide)　(12-2-12)　together　with　a　linear　alcohol,　hexanol　(C6OH)　or　heptanol　(C7OH),　in　aqueous　solution.　The　foam　stability　was　determined　using　the　half-life　of　foam　height　falling　(t(1/2))　as　the　index.　The　results　showed　that　C7OH　was　more　efficient　than　C6OH　together　with　12-2-12　to　stabilize　the　foams.　To　generate　the　most　stable　foams,　the　optimum　addition　for　both　C6OH　and　C7OH　was　determined.　The　adsorption　of　the　mixtures　at　the　air/water　interface　was　studied　using　surface　tension　measurements.　The　intermolecular　interactions　and　the　composition　of　the　mixed　monolayer　were　estimated　by　Rubingh-Rosen　theory　and　the　surface　excess　was　derived　from　the　Gibbs　equation.　The　total　surface　excess　that　included　both　12-2-12　and　alcohols,　was　shown　to　significantly　increase　following　the　addition　of　alcohols　suggesting　the　active　molecules　were　more　densely　packed　at　the　interface.　The　interfacial　dilational　rheology　of　the　films　was　examined　using　the　oscillating　drop　technique.　The　results　showed　that　a　highly　stable　foam　always　corresponded　to　a　highly　elastic　adsorption　film.　The　present　study　suggests　a　new　formula　for　the　generation　of　highly　stable　foams　using　a　gemini　surfactant　with　a　short　spacer　together　with　a　linear　alcohol.
