Can alcohol rubbed on the skin cause alcohol levels to rise when doing a venipuncture?
It possibly could. Ethanol (one of two types of rubbing alcohol, and the kind of alcohol that is used in beverages) is known to diffuse through skin, both inward, into the body, and outward, away from the body. That said, the kinetics of alcohol transport across the skin is not completely understood, and is the subject of ongoing research. Here is a recent (2005) paper on the subject from the Japan Journal of Physiology (in english): http://jap.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/100/2/649.pdf

When boys go through puberty, they have high levels of hormones called androgens that cause their voicebox to elongate. This causes the air passing over their vocal cords to vibrate at a lower frequency, giving them a lower voice. When girls go through puberty they have much lower levels of these hormones, so their voiceboxes stay smaller and their voices remain higher.

Overall, excessive alcohol use can create significant fluctuations in potassium levels, which may have serious health implications.
