Is there a multi-purpose alcohol that can be used to sterilize medical stuff and also can be drank ?

hurricane season is coming..i was wondering if a high proof alcohol can be used as a multi-purpose remedy? I need to know the proof and what it can be used for. sterilize knives/drink/or burn as fuel

thanks!

Answer:
isopropyl alcohol is poisonous.

ethanol, or grain alcohol is what your're looking for.

Do not try to distill down anything that says "denatured", because it has methanol (wood alcohol) and you will go blind (i.e. perfumes are mostly alcohol, BUT denatured. Mouthwash is alcohol, but not denatured in the event someone swallows it)
Do you mean drank as in to get drunk or just an extreme. I know isopropyl alcohol is 160 proof and does everything you need. There are some people that can drink it but it can burn your throat if you breath in while drinking it. They sell it in any supermarket or pharmacy. If not that than vodka will do just as well.
Go to WalMart and spend the 88 cents to buy yourself a bottle of rubbing alcohol. Don't ever drink it.

While you're there, prepare for hurricane season like a sane person would, and buy flashlights and batteries. If you need to get drunk during hurricane season, go to the liquor store and buy ethanol (the drinking kind of alcohol).

Please do not try to burn ANYTHING. You'll end up burning your house down. Especially if you're drunk.
