AB Isopropyl  alcohol  is  a  clear,  colorless  liquid  with  a  bitter  taste  used  widely  in  a  solvent,  an  antiseptic,  and  a  disinfectant  and  is  commonly  available  in  the  home  as  a  70%  solution  (rubbing  alcohol).  It  is  often  ingested  by  alcoholics  as  a  cheap  substitute  for  liquor.  Unlike  the  other  common  alcohol  substitutes  methanol  and  ethylene  glycol,  isopropyl  alcohol  is  not  metabolized  to  highly  toxic  organic  acids  and  therefore  does  not  produce  a  profound  anion  gap  acidosis.
