No, no, no!They absolutely are not the same, and if you tried drinking isopropyl alcohol (even watered down as rubbing alcohol), you’d do serious damage to your body.
Where did you hear that? I wanted to ask, why do you state something so confidently that is incorrect? Clearly you must know you don’t know.
But I’m being unfair. We are all unknowingly misinformed in some way.
What you’re thinking of is denatured spirits. Generally that means lots of ethanol (i.e. drinking alcohol) and some methanol (wood alcohol, do not drink). I’ve always thought it’s immoral to deter users this way (particularly during prohibition)
One thing I saw somewhere cautioned against the breathalyzer because it’s sensitive to alcohol (as in hand sanitizer alcohol).
Hand sanitizer alcohol and drinking alcohol are the same alcohol…one just has flavor, and the other is mixed with a gel.
Edit: apparently there are different types

I wasn’t aware any hand sanitizer used isopropyl, but apparently some do. Others use ethanol.
Isopropyl is ethanol, with added poison
Except they’re two different chemicals? Weirdest false statement I’ve seen recently
Isopropanol is to ethanol as propane is to ethane
