By "hand alcohol", do you mean rubbing alcohol?
If so, then rubbing alcohol is a mixture of 70% isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol) and water, while drinking alcohol is a mixture of water, ethanol, and various flavorings in varying proportions... vodka, for example, is typically around 50% ethanol.
2-propanol is poisonous.
One other type of alcohol that's commonly encountered is "wood alcohol", which is methanol. Methanol is also poisonous.
Finally, denatured alcohol is ethanol which has been made undrinkable by the addition of foul-tasting or poisonous substances. (Denatured alcohol is taxed by the government at a much lower rate.) There are several different official formulas that can be used to denature ethanol depending on exactly what it's being used for. Some of them include things like methanol, 2-propanol, gasoline, or even benzene... which is a carcinogen. If you were talking about the alcohol in hand sanitizers, it probably falls into this category.
Technically speaking ethanol is itself poisonous, but much less so than the other substances named above.

Difference In Grain and Rubbing AlcoholIf memory serves me correctly, grain alcohol is derived from the fermentation of various grains, with the most common being from corn, and it's safe to consume. On the other hand, rubbing alcohol contains isopropyl alcohol (which is a chemically made alcohol), and usually contains additional water and sometimes glycerine, and isn't intended to be substituted for either grain or wood alcohol. To drink it would make one very ill and may even be lethal, or cause blindness. In other words grain alcohol is not equal to rubbing alcohol. period.steph says no.
