Is it safe to drink ethanol (medical alcohol) or add it to a drink?

Let’s say I love Dr Pepper, and I want to make it “spicier” but not add any external flavor, can I add to it some ethanol, the same you use to clean infections and wounds? Of course, In small and calculated proportions ( for example a drink that would contain normally 30% vodka and 70% juice, make it in this case with 12% pure alcohol and 88% juice)?

Because on the Internet I see people saying that yes, you can, and It’s the same as drinking more pure vodka, and others say It’s really harmful and you should never do it and that it contains cancerous substances

*Under no circumstances* add anything that isn’t specifically designated for human consumption to your drink. *Ever.* Even if you think it’s safe. Just buy some Everclear, they sell at over 90 proof.
