I agree with everyone, as you ask this question I will assume you or someone you know is doing this.
This is life threatening and if you are engaging in this you need to get help now. See your doctor.

A BAC as well as breathalizer will detect this. If you are doing this seek help immediately!!

Hello,

Here's a few links I found on the dangers of drinking rubbing alcohol(isopropal). I'm not sure about a BAC detecting it but my guess would be yes if enough is ingested. Hope this helps.
