It will either kill you or make you very, very ill. Symptoms depend on the exact chemicals in the product. Rubbing alcohol is usually isopropanol, but it may instead contain methanol, or ethanol with additives like acetone or formaldehyde to render it unfit for drinking. There may also be added colors, chemical stabilizers, and perfume oils such as menthol.

Symptoms of isopropyl alcohol poisoning include headache, dizziness, CNS depression, flushing of the skin, nausea, vomiting, anesthesia, and coma.
