No. White spirit is a turpentine substitute used for thinning paint or cleaning paint brushes or rollers.
Surgical spirit is a mixture of ethanol, methanol (to make it undrinkable) and sometimes oil of wintergreen or methyl salicylate.
On a similar note, methylated spirit is similar to surgical spirit but contains pyridine as well as methanol and a purple dye to make it undrinkable. It is used as a cleaner and a fuel.
