isopropanol(isopropyl alcohol), commonly found in a 70% solution as rubbing alcohol or a 95% solution in "swimmer's ear" products, has profound CNS depressant effects.
not to be confused with methanol, which is the alcohol that causes blindness and is sometimes confused with isopropanol, isopropanol when ingested has effects similar to ethanol, but has more similarites to chloral hydrate and diethyl ether as it felt more sedating.
now i'm not desperate for a drink as an experiment like this would seem to show, this was done simply out of curiousity. i ingested about 15ml of 95% isopropanol mixed with equal parts water in a "shot" and quickly drank some fruit juice to mask the taste.
after about 30min i felt "drunk" as i would with ethanol, but after some time heavy sedation started to set in and i was on the border of a being in a stupor. the heavy drunk feeling and stronger sedative/hypnotic effects reminded me very much of chloral hydrate. also anesthetic effects were stronger than that of ethanol. after a couple hours i went to sleep and woke up(today) to my suprise with no real hangover(others who did this complained of a bad hangover).
the positives of isopropanol are it's long lasting effects, strong sedative/hypnotic effects, potency(one shot and you're fucked up), and ease of obtaining it(if you don't feel like going to the liquor store). the negatives are that of ethanol but with the smell of acetone on your breath, bad taste, burn as it goes down, and its slightly more toxic than ethanol(but isopropanol isn't as toxic as you'd think).
i'm pretty sure this is a GABAergic like ethanol, but more potent. it's effects as far as euphoria goes seems slightly less than that of ethanol, but isopropanol still has strong intoxicating effects.
so if you're ever bored and want to try a new downer or you're out of booze, i'd recommend trying it. just remember how potent it is and to dose correctly.
