no.
Yes. Ethanol (drinking alcohol) is soluble in both both oil and water. If an oil and ethanol solution is mixed with water I think the ethanol will separate from the oil and mix with the water resulting in a cloudy emulsion of an ethanol-water solution with tiny droplets of oil. This is called louching.

I think actually most or all types of alcohol do mix with oil. I am not certain about every type but the ethanol (the kind in adult beverages) molecule has a polar end and a nonpolar end. Isopropyl alcohol also dissolves oil. That ethanol mixes with both alcohol and water has an interesting application. Spirits such as ouza are almost pure ethanol and aromatic oils. When it is poured into water the ethanol is soluable but the aromatic oils are not and a cloudy white emulsion of water/ethanol with oil dropletts is formed. This effect is called louching. Another spirit that does this is arak and to a lesser extent absinthe. I think perfumes that are alcohol and oils should do this too.

Answer#1The alcohol, being less dense will float on top. They do not react. This answer is nonsense. Alcohol and bleach will mix, and they react, but not in a way that will kill you.

Why can't rubbing alcohol and oil mix?
Most people know that oil and water don't mix. This is because water molecules have a positive end and a negative end. Alcohol is like water. It has a positive and a negative end. It mixes with water, but not with oil.Food coloring is mostly water, so that it can mix with most foods, which are also water based. To get food coloring and / or water to mix with oil, you need an emulsifier, like egg or soap. Obviously, if you plan to eat it, you don't want to add soap, and egg will change the consistency drastically. The main ingredients in mayonnaise are oil, water, and egg. The reason emulsifiers work is that they have a long carbon chain that is not charged (to hold on to drops of oil), and ends that are charged (to hold on to the water molecules. Some may think that an alcohol molecule fits this description, since it has a carbon chain and a hydroxide ion on one end. However, the chain is too short, so the carbon chain is actually going to have a slight positive charge.
