Rubbing alcohol

Hi, what do the Americans mean by 'rubbing alcohol'. Is it what we in the
UK, know as IPA, Iso propyl alcohol ? Thanks. Ray

I'm pretty sure it is simple old meths....

Cheers Terry. I thought meths was too good for rubbing, I thought it was for
drinking. Te he. Cheers again. Ray

It is what the doctor uses to rub on yr arm when you get a needle. Mostly
used around hospitals etc.

Rubbing alcohol is isopropyl (IPA) with some water asdded. Comes in two
strengths that I know of. Most common contains 70% IPA, balance water.
