        @[Deactivated]: Hold on; how would that influence it?
        
        UV has no studied effect on alcohol within the body.
        
        But its well known that if you provide an easier to metabolise alcohol, the Isopropanol will be largely ignored. (Passing through before it manages to be metabolized).
        
        Iirc this comes up in livestock from time to time.
        
        Salamando is talking basic remote poisons training; where is your sunlight theory from?

        @MasterScythe: God's gift to the human race told me MS. He may be a narcissistic ahole with an IQ equivalent to his age but his advice is at least as good as an amateur advising on medical procedures on a deals website. I'm willing to consider good professional advice though so if you can point me to some information suggesting that plying someone with large amounts of ethanol after they've imbibed IPA is a good idea I'll be most grateful.
        
        MasterScythe on 03/01/2021 - 20:54

        Have you had ANY poisons training at all?

        @MasterScythe: You clearly missed the sunlight reference. The bloke who made the infamous comment was/is certainly delusional. Keep digging, the reference is recent and not difficult to find. Poisons and chemistry training are entirely different matter to first aid medical treatment delivered by qualified experts. This is a public website populated with a wide variety of people. Suggesting that plying someone with large amounts of ethanol after they've imbibed IPA is irresponsible garbage.
        
        MasterScythe on 06/01/2021 - 17:56

        High?
        Best of luck with whatever you're smoking.
        
        I havent dug for anything; you're the one who suggested sunlight.
        So, you're delusional?

        @MasterScythe: You've had internet and television/news access presumably. Admittedly here's been a lot of it, but the sunlight reference was hard to miss among Trump's bs "cures" for C19.
        
        Try googling IPA poisoning first aid and treatment. There are specific reasons for professionals let alone complete amateurs not using ethanol, some more obvious than others.
        
        Fortunately most people wisely take comments on things like health, law etc on social media websites like OzB with a grain of salt.
        
        Vbol with the surgery and recovery btw.

I thought 99.99% was the purest grade of iso alcohol and only available from chemical suppliers. How is this cosmetics company able to create something so pure in a cheap plastic bottle?
- Salmando on 03/01/2021 - 09:58
  
  +1
  
  Well the source can be pure, but getting it into a container and such without absorbing water and other chemicals makes the final product a bit misleading.
  
  Regardless, a decent supplier sending 100% is noticeably different to 99%, so, outside of a lab, this stuff is usually pretty predictable by use based on the percentage you ordered. You get me?
  
  While I'm sure I've never used actual pure stuff, the products I do use are consistent and different based on the advertised percentage.

Last time I bought isopropyl alcohol was in 2018, when I paid $40 for 15 litres.

Still got 10, and we've put a few litres into sanitiser.

Handy stuff though.

    Worthwhile if you're using it in work and actually go through a few L a week.

        Once when I had no money for a lighter I made a little lamp to light my smokes with.
        Got an old curry jar (small, glass, with metal lid), cut a slit in the top. Got an old towel and cut a strip. Dip strip in iso. Pour some iso in jar. Slip towel through the slit into the iso and lit it. Would stay lit for hours and hours and you only had to pull the strip up very rarely.

Can this be used to make a tincture?
- Diogenes on 03/01/2021 - 11:12
  
  +2
  
  It's reasonably-strongly recommended not to: isopropyl alcohol isn't particularly toxic in tincture dose sizes (e.g., 1 drop sublingually), but it's not advisable.
  
  Getting hold of sufficiently concentrated ethyl alcohol (e.g., Everclear) is harder than acquiring plant matter relevant to adult people's interests.
  
  In a free world both would be readily available, but we're not in that world - wowsers aren't extinct yet: they would prefer that people are forced to a black market with variable product quality.
  
  For harder drugs this predictably and directly causes deaths by overdose for already-benighted people: pretending that such people will abstain is a priori preposterous, and nobody believes it. (And Portugal discovered - almost 20 years ago - that decriminalising leads directly to harm reduction).
  
  In other words, wowsers are evil. Policies that favour organised crime, low product quality and high variability … it's the same as killing the most-downtrodden in society. It's harm-amplification, and anyone who supports it should be expropriated (including their pensions).
  
  Anyhow: if this stuff is genuinely 99%, then making a tincture then evaporating off the alcohol results in concentrated cabbage resin (assuming you're trying to make cabbage tincture).
  - Tatanga on 03/01/2021 - 11:48
    
    I've seen 96% food-grade ethanol for sale in a bottle shop. It was a Polish brand, smallish bottle and quite expensive. IIRC 96% is the point at which ethanol stops being hygroscopic.
    
    I bought some a few years and tried making a cumquat liqueur with it, on the theory that the fruit juices would dilute the alcohol. They did dilute it, but the taste was still horrible. In contrast, I've had super high alcohol rum straight out of a still and it was lovely. Point being, you can (or could) get high alcohol food-grade ethanol, but they're not all created equal and think about the intended use before you buy too much of it.
    - Diogenes on 05/01/2021 - 18:54
      
      Yes, I was reliably informed that there's a Polish one and an Italian one and both can be had with relatively low effort (still more effort than ought to be, and massive expense solely due to huge excise, i.e., tax).
      
      I bit the bullet and went go for the Italian one because it comes in a 1l bottle (Beltion "Alcool Cinquestelle" for $140 delivered).
      
      Later this year I'll work out how to build a still: I object vehemently to giving tax to bureaucrats (they mostly spend it on stupid nonsense).
      
      I've bought the Beltion despite have no pressing need for it until I select a new 'cabbage' supplier. The previous cabbage vendor I dealt with was reliable, with really excellent quality cabbages at reasonable prices: a credit to entrepreneurship and free enterprise.
      
      He relocated interstate just as we were introduced to a new virus that makes sickly 85 years olds die 5 months sooner than they otherwise would, and leaves healthy people pretty much alone. Suffice it to say that this "99.97% of healthy victims survive" virus has got the Karens and Mrs Jessups all clutching their pearls simultaneously, which has thrown something of a spanner in the local cabbage market.
      
      Turns out that there's no point in taking care of your metabolism, because if anything ever threatens the metabolically imprudent (fatties etc) or unlucky (85 year olds with an average of 2.9 comorbidities etc), the Karens and Mrs Jessups will see to it that the political class is empowered to upend the lives of the metabolically prudent out of pure spite.
      
      A bit like the effect of monetary policy on the financially prudent…

        @Diogenes: So your all for protecting drug addicts, but not the old?…weird. I guess you dont have any old people in your life that you care about, but are a druggy so think your interests should be protected. And dont get me wrong, I like drugs. Im a pot head (not that I can get any) and have used everything I could ever get when I was younger. Personally I have old friends and a young friend who was born with holes in his heart and was told if he gets it he will prolly die, but what do you care huh?

    Eeeee. Wrong.
    Well; technically correct; but not in this circumstance because he stated bunnings.
    
    Unless you have a chemical licence, what Australians and NZers buy as "methylated spirits" contains no methanol at all.
    
    Diggers, being the one sold at bunnings, and the most common, is Ethanol and Water (msds it if you dont trust me).
    
    If the OP could source ACTUAL methanol, yeah,thats nasty.
    
    But since he said Bunnings, its guaranteed all he's buying is Ethanol.
