It would make you very sick, don't try it. Ethyl alcohol is what makes you drunk, and it's a completely different chemical structure. Rubbing alcohol is Isopropyl alcohol, and oral consumption of it can cause blindness.

Rubbing Alcohol can be Ethyl Alcohol (Ethanol) or Isopropyl Alcohol. The latter is more common. Ethanol is basically pure alcohol. If you ingested a reasonable amount you would likely suffer alcohol poisoning. But you can't possibly have ingested enough to be a serious problem without noticing. More likely, it was Isopropyl Alcohol. If you ingested even a small amount of that, you could be suffering from isopropyl alcohol poisoning. Symptoms of isopropyl alcohol poisoning include flushing, headache, dizziness, central nervous system depression, nausea, vomiting, anesthesia, and coma. Clearly some of those symptoms are more serious than others. Considering you aren't even sure whether you swallowed any or not, I doubt you could have ingested enough for this to be serious. Even inhaling the fumes from this type of alcohol can cause headaches, dizziness and nausea. It should pass. If you are still suffering in a couple of hours time, or if it gets worse, seek medical attention. Also, I would not recommend using it to wash your face in the future. Small amounts used on a cotton pad to disinfect a cut or graze, or to cool the skin, is fine. Even then it should be in a well ventilated environment. You should not be using it in greater quantities than that or exposing yourself to any greater risk of inhalation or ingestion.

It would just kill you. Why do you want to get drunk anyway???? You don't know what the heck you're doing, and you feel so gross the next day.

Rubbing alcohol is methyl alcohol and can kill you. Ethyl alcohol is what we drink.

No it is not, it's not the same kind of alcohol as the kind you drink to get a buzz. I would not reccomend it!!
