Insects can walk on liquids like water due to surface tension, which allows them to distribute their weight and avoid sinking. However, rubbing alcohol has a lower surface tension compared to water, making it less likely for most insects to walk on it successfully. Additionally, the chemical properties of rubbing alcohol can be harmful to insects, leading to their inability to survive in such a liquid.
the water is cohesion to the insects
Yes it can. I pour all over my stockings/socks, then put the shoes on and walk around in them. Old nurse trick. Main ingredient in expensive shoe stretch I'm told.
In your vestibular system (in the inner ear) you have liquid that acts as a kind of spirit level. This liquid is thick, however when alcohol is absorbed into the system some of it "seeps" into this liquid making the liquid thinner and therefore the liquid moves around easier creating the balance trouble you experience
Many are attracted to feces and they walk through them. They then can walk through your food.
Only if you want a slap.
They hop or jump in an erratic way!

Surface tension.
the surface tension on the top of the water so if you look at a glass of water when it is full and about to overflow there is a hump thing its not flat that is how they can walk on water
