I wouldn't recommend it. It tends to seriously dry out you skin, and if you have any breaks in your skin, it burns like blazes. Keep it away from any natural orifices or, you're likely to have some very painful problems.

Ethyl alcohol and methyl alcohol are two brothers One is good the other one bad Why?
Ethyl alcohol also known as ethanol is the one you use in your drinks. This brother is good. If you drink methyl alcohol also called methanol then you die. That's why this brother is bad.
What is the difference between ethyl and methyl alcohol?
Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, is madeof molecules containing one methyl group, with a chemical structure of CH3-OH. Methanol is highly toxic if inhaled, drunk, or absorbed through the skin and can cause blindness. Ethyl alcohol is the same as ethanol or grain alcohol. I has two methyl groups and looks like CH3-CH3-OH. This is the type of alcohol found in the alcoholic beverages people consume. Both compounds are organic and are good solvents and fixatives.
How long does alcohol stay good?
The more alcohol, the longer it stays good. Wines "mature" at various ages from 2 years to 30. Whiskey is aged for 5-20 years before bottling, and is good practically forever as long as it stays sealed. I suspect that vodka bottled in the times of the Tsars would still be drinkable today.
Is an alcoholic drink a pure substance?
Rubbing alcohol is a solution. What you buy labeled as rubbing alcohol is a mixture of various concentrations of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and water, usually around 70% alcohol and the rest water.
How do you distill hand sanitizer in order to make edible alcohol?
Wikipedia has an article on Alcohol Rubs here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_sanitizer They typically use ethanol (standard drinking alcohol mixed with something to render it undrinkable) or isopropanol ("rubbing alcohol" which is poisonous — not in a good way — if swallowed). A concentration of 60-70 percent is needed. Standard rubbing alcohol should do the trick, as would a 120+ proof liquor, although both will dry out your skin. You could mix in a small amount of glycerine for moisturizing, and possibly a thickener, but you risk diluting the alcohol to where the mixture is no longer effective. A mixture of nine parts 70% rubbing alcohol to one part glycerine should give you a good (but runny) substitute at a lower price.

Is grain alcohol more sanitary than rubbing alcohol. I have been using grain alcohol for antibacterial usage rather than using the gel antibacterial lotions. But grain alcohol costs 15 per liter.?
"Grain alcohol" is ethyl alcohol (ethanol). Gel antibacterial lotions are typically somewhere around 70% ethyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is most potent as an antiseptic when diluted slightly with water to somewhere around that 70% ethyl alcohol range. If you're buying "grain alcohol" that is 190 proof (95%) or greater, and using it straight as an antiseptic, then you're not getting the best value for your money.Rubbing alcohol is typically 70% isopropyl alcohol. It too is a good antiseptic.The gel antibacterial lotions are easier to apply, less messy, and they contain emollients that prevent the skin from being dried out by the alcohol. Generally speaking they are the best solution to the problem, combine with thorough washing several times a day.As for which is better, I suppose it all comes down to concentration and application, but all should work just fine.
