Only the high heat and pressure of an autoclave (expensive medical sterilization unit) can sterilize jewellery. Alcohol is a disinfectant ( it kills bacteria but not spores) it can be used to clean jewellery you are going to wear so long as it's your jewellery and not someone else's. To wear someone else's jewellery you need to have it autoclaved ( kills bacteria and spores ) before you can wear it. Not doing so can lead to cross contamination ( this is how iv drug users contract HIV/aids hepatitis etc by sharing needles ).

The answer to this depends on two factors. First, the ratio of rubbing alcohol to water in the bath. The second would be if the person in the bath has any open sores that can allow the alcohol to enter the bloodstream. In low amounts and with no way for the alcohol to enter the body, the bath will be fine.

Rubbing alcohol is isopropyl alcohol, and is poisonous if ingested, (the alcohol you can drink safely is ethanol, a different chemical compound). Rubbing alcohol cools the skin by convection, as the alcohol evaporates it carries the heat away from the body with it, just like perspiration, only faster. Cooling of the body with alcohol will help in reducing a fever, but should only be done when the body temperature is dangerously high, 104-105 or greater. It is best to supplement this cooling with effective medicines like ibuprofen, aspirin (not for young children), or acetaminophen, these take longer to work, but their effect lasts longer. Severely elevated body temperature can cause seizures and/or brain damage in children, if they have a fever that is greater than 104 degrees and does not respond to treatment should be addressed by a physician.
Different viruses will "survive" (remain infectious) longer in the environment. Hepatitis C virus (HBC) can remain infectious in the environment - including jewelry, on average, between 16 hours and 4 days.Rubbing alcohol is not effective against HBC. The best method for disinfecting surfaces and jewelry is to thoroughly clean it with diluted household bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water).Resources: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hepatitis/c/faq.htm
