As a recovering alcoholic I can confirm that rubbing alcohol will indeed get you wasted. But it’s a WAR to get down and keep it down. My past preference for “you drank WHAT??” options was, in descending order: Vanilla extract, cooking wine, mouthwash, hand sanitizer, cologne/body spray… and rubbing alcohol is a diiiiiistant runner up to all of those. It’ll mess you up but it’s a wonder I’ve still got my eyesight, my hearing and all my organs intact.
