What chemicals are in rubbing alcohol?
Usually water and Isopropyl Alcohol and sometimes some aromatic fragrances. Isopropyl alcohol is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (C3H7OH), which makes it an organic compound. Isopropyl alcohol comes from wood grain. Rubbing alcohol is typically 70% isopropanol and 30% water. Isopropanol is propane (C3H8) with one of the middle hydrogens knocked off and replaced with a hydroxyl (OH). The formula for isopropanol is C3H8O, or writing the formula to show how the atoms are connected, it would be (CH3)2CH-OH Should be nothing more than isopropyl alcohol and perhaps some water. Some preparations also add some food coloring (green, usually), so it doesn't look like water.
What is the difference between grain alcohol and rubbing alcohol?
Difference In Grain and Rubbing AlcoholIf memory serves me correctly, grain alcohol is derived from the fermentation of various grains, with the most common being from corn, and it's safe to consume. On the other hand, rubbing alcohol contains isopropyl alcohol (which is a chemically made alcohol), and usually contains additional water and sometimes glycerine, and isn't intended to be substituted for either grain or wood alcohol. To drink it would make one very ill and may even be lethal, or cause blindness. In other words grain alcohol is not equal to rubbing alcohol. period.steph says no.
Will rubbing alcohol cause mouth problems if used to rinse mouth?
Yes. Isopropanol is combustable and not to be injested, and can cause serious tissue damage. If you want to get rid of bacteria, rinse instead with peroxide, diluted 1:1 with water.
What happens when alcohol crosses the placental barrier?
When alcohol crosses the placental barrier, it can reach the developing fetus and cause a range of problems known as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). These disorders can result in lifelong physical, behavioral, and cognitive impairments for the child. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy is strongly discouraged to prevent these adverse effects on the baby's development.
Does alcohol cause acidosis or alkalosis?
alkalosis
Is there scientific study to show that Is it possible to become drunk with BAC of 22 from rubbing isopropyl alcohol on your skin?
No after consultation, it is not possible to get a BAC of .219 from isopropy alcohol...it is a different alcohol from booze and would cause great gastric damage upon consumtion..
Does excessive alcohol consumption cause sterss induced acute gastric enteritis?
No, it causes alcohol-induced gastric enteritis.
Why does alcohol taste?
because of the chemicals used to distill it. alcohol such as drinking alcohol has ethanol in it and rubbing alcohol has isopropyl which is a poison that can fight infection. drinking isopropyl can cause a permanent drunkness that will destroy your liver because it can not be digested.
Can you dink alcohol when taking prednisolone?
Yes. But both may cause gastritis or gastric ulcers.
What muscle relaxer has the strongest sedative but is least likely to cause gastric problems?
Soma
Does alcohol cause Cancer?
Epidemiological studies suggested an association between isopropyl alcohol and paranasal sinus cancer; however, subsequent analysis suggests that the "strong-acid" process used to manufacture isopropyl alcohol may be responsible for these cancers [ACGIH 1991]. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has concluded that the evidence for the carcinogenicity of this process is adequate but that the evidence for isopropyl alcohol itself is inadequate [IARC 1987]. http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/healthguidelines/isopropylalcohol/recognition.html
Can drinking alcohol cause bladder problems?
No
How does alcohol cause peptic ulcers?
alcohol contains chemicals which is similar to the gastric acid that our pancreas produce in order to emulsify the food that we eat. In short alcohol can also contribute or trigger to cause gastric wounds in the lining of your stomach causing peptic ulcers.
Will drinking alcohol when getting a sauna or massage cause problems?

What happens if you inject rubbing alcohol?
The chemical name for the material in rubbing alcohol is "isopropyl alcohol" or "isopropanol." The effects of excessive exposure to this chemical include skin flushing, headache, dizziness, nause, and vomiting. It also depresses the central nervous system, causing anesthesia and coma, and in severe situations excess exposure can be fatal. Isopropyl alcohol is converted in the liver to acetone, which will also depress the central nervous system.
Will isopropyl alcohol stain clothes?
Since isopropyl alcohol is colorless, it's not likely to "stain" clothes.However, if the clothes are not completely colorfast, isopropanol is a pretty good solvent, so it may cause the color to fade in the area touched by it. There's also a distant possibility the dye used could react with the isopropanol in such a way as to cause it to change color, but this isn't likely.
Why is it bad to get drunk during pregnancy?
Because drinking alcohol while pregnant can cause a variety of problems with the unborn baby. One of the worst problems that it can cause is fetal alcohol syndrome. It is not known how much or how little alcohol can cause problems in an unborn baby so it is recommended not to drink any!
