Chemically speaking alcohol is meant to be ethanol, which is a pure compound with formula CH3CH2OH, it definitely is not a mixture, except when 'dissolved' in water (most stable solution: 4% water + 96% ethanol. (This is what you get when buying a bottle pure ethanol)
rubbing alcohol is a mixture
If you were to take 'alcohol' into a more specific definition an alcohol is really a hydrocarbon with the functional group
So if it were, well i would say, 100% ethanol then it would be a compound.
Depends on what you're talking about. If you're talking about pure ethanol, it's a substance. If you're talking about spirits like whiskey, rum, or vodka, it's a mixture. And of course, if you're talking about beer, wine, or mixed drinks, it's very clearly a mixture.

If there is enough liquid, the sugar will dissolve, as rubbing alcohol is a mixture of water (about 30%) with an alcohol. Sugar is soluble in both liquids. * BTW, rubbing alcohol is poisonous. *
Answer 100% isopropyl alcohol is a pure substance and not a mixture. A mixture consists of more than one type of chemical compound mixed with another either uniformly or not uniformly. Over the counter isopropyl alcohol is usually 70% or 90% Isopropyl with this rest made up of water. Since the alcohol and water mix together uniformly and the particles are too small to scatter light, isopropyl alcohol and water is classified as a homogeneous mixture. More specifically you would call this homogeneous mixture of alcohol and water a solution. Other homogeneous mixtures include salt water, pepsi, apple juice and a martini (without the olive).
with an acidic substance, such as rubbing alcohol
Rubbing alcohol is called 2-propanol or isopropyl alcohol.

no it is a homogeneous mixture
Rubbing alcohol is actually a mixture. To be specific it is a homogeneous mixture.
There is no reaction, you simply get a mixture of rubbing alcohol and methanol.
Rubbing alcohol is a mixture of ethanol, iso-propanol, a dye etc.
It is a mixture of denatured alcohol, water and agents added to make the alcohol unpalatable to drink and sometimes colorants. There are two common types of rubbing alcohol, Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol and Ethyl Alcohol Rubbing Alcohol.
