Can I use Isopropyl alcohol in place of denatured alcohol to clean a sword blade?
NO! The Isopropyl alcohol sold in drugstores contains water and can cause corrosion. You are far better off to spend the little extra money to buy denatured alcohol, which cuts through grime, grease and oil to completely clean your blade and it evaporates completely, leaving no residue. Make sure to use a clean, dry cloth to do the cleaning. Instead of using oil on the blade after cleaning, consider a clear, hard past wax like Butcher's bowling alley wax or Renaissance micro-crystalline wax.

Can you substitute rubbing alcohol for denatured alcohol?
In some cases mineral spirits can be substituted for Denatured Alcohol. Denatured alcohol has a high vapor pressure so it evaporates much faster that mineral spirits; typically used as stove or marine fuel. It's useful for cleaning windows, metal, and electrical components. Mineral spirits, especially odorless, has a lower vapor pressure so it's less volatile and is used as a paint thinner. It is also more on the non-polar side so it's more effective as a degreaser and will clean grease and grime more aggressively.

How can a sample of ethyl alcohol be rendered unsafe to drink?
A sample of ethanol may have other additives added to the solution. Typically a laboratory can purchase either denatured ethanol or pure ethanol.

It prevents other people from drinking this stock of ethanol: it will not only taste bad, but it will have other serious side effects.

However, DNA extractions which require 200 proof ethanol can not tolerate contaminants.
