Why does a methylated spirit when poured on the skin has cooling effect?

Methylated spirit evaporates quickly on the skin and as it does so it claims the latent heat of vaporisation from the skin, which then feels cool.
It's the same natural mechanism that is used in sweating when water evaporates from the surface of the skin.

Can you use methylated spirit on a alcohol stove?
Methylated spirits is the commonly used term in Europe to describe what we in North America would refer to as "Methyl Hydrate". For the average citizen, it's best known use is "Fondue Fuel" chocolate, cheese, whatever. The answer then is yes. For the average intermittent user, the least expensive supply is in the paint department of any "Big Box" general merchandiser where it is sold in 3.5l (U.S.gal) for use as a solvent. Small and very expensive bottles are sold as "Gas Line Deicer" and often have some colour added thus they "look cool" and this justifies the double or triple price.
