As wedrifid pointed out, isopropyl alcohol isn't bad for you in small amounts. I definitely made sure to let it evaporate, but you can drink the stuff in small amounts and not suffer ill effects, assuming it's just alcohol and water. IIRC, it's something like twice as strong and twice as toxic as ethanol... something like that, anyway.
The biochemist in me is twitching at your use of "ethanol alcohol". That's redundant; it's either "ethanol" or "ethyl alcohol".
Whoops; thanks for catching that. I knew that... in theory; I am a biochemist myself (well, on my way, anyway - no degree yet, but I love the field and don't see myself changing).
