Just wanted to share that it is very common for alcoholics to turn to things like aftershave or rubbing alcohol in the advanced stage of alcoholism. Bela Lugosi (Dracula, the very old b&w film) was drinking phermeldohyde (spelling?) near the end of his life. He didn't make it out of his nightmare.
But Kitty Dukakis did. The wife of Michael Dukakis, she shares in her autobiography that she was drinking just about anything in the house, including nail polish remover. But she eventually found sobriety.
It is a baffling disease, and progressive.
