I am not sure about using alcohol; however, I can share with you depending on where the boil is located, soaking the area in warm water with Epsom salts, or a warm sitz bath is very effective in bringing the boil to a head. Hydrogen Peroxide is helpful if the boil is open. Many boils have to be lanced to allow the puss and infection to be released, whereby, the warm water/Epsom salt soaks/baths are more effective. The Epsom salt and warm water help to draw out the puss and encourage healing.

Got this from wiki
Isopropyl alcohol vapor is more dense than air and is highly flammable with a very wide combustible range. It should be kept away from heat and open flame. When mixed with air or other oxidizers it can explode through deflagration.[6] Isopropyl alcohol has also been reported to form explosive peroxides.[6][7
