Yes, alcohol does absorb water from the air, it's very hygroscopic - anhydrous copper suphate (for example) may be used to remove water from it.
It has to be the right kind. Rubbing alcohol doesn't do anything. Pure alcohol can absorb like one fourth it's volume of water. That is basicly what the product Heat is. It get the water out of the tank and allows it to be burned with the gas. Rubbing Alcohol already has water in it and can't absorb any more.

No, rubbing alcohol does not make water disappear when they mix. Instead, rubbing alcohol and water form a uniform solution where the molecules of both substances are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Rubbing alcohol contain water, methanol or isopropyl alcohol, a dye.
An object will float in water if its density is less than that of water. Rubbing alcohol has a lower density than water, so an object that sinks in rubbing alcohol likely has a higher density than the rubbing alcohol. This difference in density causes the object to sink in rubbing alcohol but float in water.
Objects will float better in rubbing alcohol than in water because rubbing alcohol has a lower density than water. This means that objects will displace less liquid in rubbing alcohol, making it easier for them to float.
Rubbing alcohol, because water takes out all of the coolness of an ice cube whistle rubbing alcohol keeps it in.
It is a mixture of denatured alcohol, water and agents added to make the alcohol unpalatable to drink and sometimes colorants. There are two common types of rubbing alcohol, Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol and Ethyl Alcohol Rubbing Alcohol.

Yes. In fact, rubbing alcohol is already mixed half-and-half with water.
