If this is a serious question, you must have been away when alcohols were discussed in science class. Alcohols are all poisonous to some extent, and the only one humans and other animals can consume with any degree of safety is ethyl alcohol.
Methyl alcohol or wood alcohol, containing one carbon atom, can be the cause of blindness.
Ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol, containing two carbon atoms, is safe within limits, but excess can cause alcohol poisoning.
Propyl alcohol, containing three carbon atoms, is poisonous in any form (there are two forms, one of them being isopropyl alcohol, commonly used as rubbing alcohol).
Butyl alcohol, containing four carbon atoms, is poisonous in any form (one form is actually a solid at room temperature).

You can mix rubbing alcohol with anything you like the flavor of. But, just before you drink it, call 911, and right after you drink it, head for the john. Isopropyl alcohol is poisonous, so they add a powerful laxative to it so you probably won't drink enough to kill yourself.....probably, but with determination, you could pull it off.

Isopropyl alcohol is oxidized by the liver into Acetone (a strong poison). Symptoms of isopropyl alcohol poisoning include flushing, headache, dizziness, CNS depression, nausea, vomiting, anesthesia, and coma.
It CANNOT be used as a substitute for the ethanol (the alcohol produced by the fermentation of sugars) that is found in beer, wine, spirits, and liquor.

I know someone who died from drinking isopropyl or rubbing alcohol. Not a very good idea.

No wrong alcohol. Rubbing and isopropyl alcohol is used for cleaning wounds.

rubbing alcohol is different than alcohol for drinking, so unless ur trying to poison yourself, youre out of luck

Since the label on the bottle reads: "if taken internally, serious gastric disturbances will result" I don't recommend that you add this to any drink, simple or not.
