This is because isopropyl alcohol is used to do disinfect the skin before certain procedures such as needle injections. The preparation consists of 70% alcohol. This usually kills of most skin bacterial and viruses but does not kill certain group of viruses such as the non enveloped viruses and does not inactivate prions. The other forms of disinfectants includes iodine with alcohol. This is used for prepping skin for blood removal of blood transfusion or certain invasive surgeries.

Any drug store or supermarket! As for the huge size you want, maybe COstco, but I don't know if it even comes in 2 or 3 litre sizes. You may have to buy several smaller sizes.
