No. The liver metabolizes isopropyl alcohol into highly toxic byproducts that can be fatal. The best thing that could happen would be for you to get very sick and throw it all up.

Just because a chemical is called an alcohol does not mean it can be ingested, or even that it is a liquid. The word simply refers to a particular class of molecules. There are solid forms of alcohols, as well.

Isopropryl (rubbing) alcohol can be extremely toxic if taken internally. It can cause a number of serious medical problems, including death, depending on the amount consumed. Please, don't even think about drinking it, and keep it away from children. It is also highly flamable, so never use it near flames, stoves, candles or cigarettes.

You will black out very quickly, vomit in your unconsciousness, and need to go to the emergency room ASAP! It is poison to your body.

It won't kill you, but it will make you vomit profusely.

If you drink a little bit, you get sick. If you drink a lot, you die. It's not a fun way to go.

Throat and lung irritation, chronic bronchitis, and brain damage. (Also possible death, but the first two things are for sure.)
