Rubbing alcohol is known as isopropyl alcohol (C 3H 8O); it is one of the more useful of the commercial alcohols, included in hand lotions and many cosmetic items as well as in antifreeze or deicer products. A 70 percent solution has more germicidal properties than does ETHANOL (drinking alcohol), so it is used in many health-care situations, both in households and in medical facilities. It is also used for massages and by athletic trainers to treat skin and muscle groups, hence the term rubbing. It has a drying effect on the skin and causes blood vessels to dilate; its distinctive odor is associated with doctor's offices, since it is used to clean the skin being prepared for an injection.

How do you intensify your alcohol buzz?

As I was researching, which wasn't far beyond much, I came across a technique of using a spoon to in take your alcohol, instead of just 'drinking'. That inhaling oxygen as you ingest the alcohol it becomes stronger, as to the truth behind it, I am not so sure of. It may or may not work. There's an experiment for you, if you can do it. Remember! Always be safe. Check everything you do and take with using alcohol, do not be stupid and idiotic, please. It saves lives, and saves policemen time and effort instead of housing you until you sober up. So, never operate a motor-vehicle. Thank you. As to the question of intensifying the affect of alcohol, that's all I have for now.As I was researching, which wasn't far beyond much, I came across a technique of using a spoon to in take your alcohol, instead of just 'drinking'.
