The ingredients will be listed on the bottle. There are two standard kinds of rubbing alcohol: (1) one made with isopropryl alcohol, which has a certain toxicity but is more pleasant or neutral smelling; and (2) one made with ethyl alcohol with an added denaturing agent to make it inedible. The ethyl alcohol (ethanol) variety has a bitter or sour or unpleasant smell, and is therefore much less popular than the isopropryl alcohol variety. This is why even though the pharmaceutical definition for "rubbing alcohol" is denatured ethyl alcohol, isopropryl alcohol is far more available commercially and is also labeled as "rubbing" alcohol. The uses of both varieties are the same, although isopropryl alcohol, because of its inherant toxicity, carries warnings about overuse and safe handling.

You would think so, except that practical issues with distilling mean that the product known as "pure grain alcohol" is 190 proof (5% water cannot be distilled out of the product) in many states, and in some states, for legal reasons, "PGA" is actually 151 proof because higher proof is not legal to sell.

It is difficult to maintain alcohol at 200 proof because, when exposed to air, it self-dilutes to a lower proof.
