No. Isopropyl alcohol does not affect the liver in the same way as ethyl alcohol. Furthermore, the effects on the liver come from the functioning of a living liver (!) dealing with alcohol for long periods of time. The conditions possible in an experiment would have no valid relationship to the actual course of alcoholic liver disease.

Why does a thin layer of water repel a drop of rubbing alcohol?

A thin layer of water might repel a drop of alcohol, however rubbing alcohol is miscible in water in larger quantities. Isopropyl alcohol, of the form C3H7OH, is what we know as rubbing alcohol. The repulsion could be because of the propyl group, however the hydroxyl group should form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with water.

How do you dispose of old rubbing alcohol?

EDIT: I found a government source (City of Toronto) that says NOT to pour rubbing alcohol down the drain. Sorry. Instead, call your local pharmacy on how to dispose of it.I'd put a link, but this site won't let me. So if you want to find the source, look it up on the internet. (Was a bit tricky to find. Sorry.).To dispose of old rubbing alcohol, choose a sink where there is plenty of ventilation. Start the water in the sink before dumping the contents of the rubbing alcohol. Slowly dump the rubbing alcohol down the sink and run more water down after the rubbing alcohol has been completely drained.

How much rubbing alcohol do you put into windshield wiper fluid to keep it from from freezing?

Normal windshield washer fluid contains methanol. Rubbing alcohol is isopropyl alcohol. Assuming that your rubbing alcohol is 70% alcohol, I would mix 1 cup of alcohol for every 2 cups of distilled water. If you use tap water, you could get mineral deposits in your windshield washer tubing. Also, I wouldn't try using rubbing alcohol in an older car, because it might still use rubber tubing. This would be damaged by the isopropyl alcohol.
