I once read a piece in High Times on how to make your own Thai Sticks. The author specifically said "Use only GRAIN alcohol, NOT RUBBING alcohol because smoking rubbing alcohol can make you go blind." maybe not in those exact words but you understand.

sure you can clean your bowl with rubbing alcohol but I wouldn't smoke the resin.
