Alcohol actually doesn't dissolve cured lacquer very quickly, if at all--and that's ethanol or methanol, not ispropyl. Rubbing alcohol is around 91% alcohol and 9% water--and my guess is that the water did the damage. If the finish is polyurethane, which is brittle, as the oak responds to normal swelling and shrinking due to environmental changes (i.e., humidity from the shower) the finish cracks, allowing water to damage the wood. If the finish is lacquer, which is a selectively permeable finish (i.e., it allows water to migrate through it) then the rings might be removable by using a blush eliminator spray, such as one found at www.touchupsolutions.com. This product "melts" the finish and allows the trapped moisture to evaporate. My opinion is that your finish is polyurethane, so I would either strip it, or buy a few light-colored markers at the hardware store (Minwax makes them, so does Touch-Up Solutions) and color in the problems. Stripping is not as easy as it sounds.

You need to sand them off and refinish the wood.
Alcohol chemically strips the wood. It's not a stain.

being interior the protection stress for some years, and spending allot of time sprucing and protecting leather-based boots, I do have some adventure with removing stains form leather-based shoes, my propose could be to purchase kiwi leather-based dye and a kiwi shoe polish kit and get to artwork, the two that or take them to be repaired
