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

Isopropanol is used to clean wounds and infections. That won’t do your kidneys any good and can render you blind. It is rubbing alcohol. Both wood alcohol (methanol) and rubbing alcohol (isopropanol) can blind and kill.
Ethanol is the only alcohol you can drink. However, ethanol in commercial or industrial quantities may be denatured. If the quantity of ethanol consumed doesn’t get you then the additives will.
