There's no reason not to use rubbing alcohol. The only reason I can
think of not to use rubbing alcohol is that you may need it and use it
all up for other purposes. Of course, if you have a ready and cheap
supply of denatured alcohol, you should use it, assuming it's cheaper
than your supply of rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol is a denatured
alcohol, and it's frequently used for more than just topical
applications simply because of it's ready availability. You could also
use just plain old ethanol, but due to taxes, it's probably going to be
a lot more expensive.
