Is it really necessary to clean the tub with rubbing alcohol before caulking?

Rubbing alcohol will dissolve more dirt than regular water will. Therefore the caulk has a cleaner surface to adhere to and may last longer. Necessity is best determined by the state of the tub in terms of how dirty it is prior to caulking.

Rubbing alcohol works by desiccation--it dries out any bacteria as it evaporates, thereby killing the bacteria. If it is to work effectively, it must be allowed to dry after application.

Will hurt you if you accidentally get rubbing alcohol in your needle and inject it will it hurt you?
I wouldn't worry about it. The rubbing alcohol will just go through your bloodstream, and eventually leave. It shouldn't seriously harm you in any way. For example, before nurse's inject needles/vaccines into your bloodstream, notice how they always put rubbing alcohol on your skin to protect against infection? That absorbs into your skin like a sponge, and it doesn't harm you! Surely it's nothing you would have to call poison control about.
