surgical spirit is ethanol adulterated with methanol but without the purple dye.
Although it has other alduterants to make it a bit more 'medical'
Isopropyl is always the best bet for degreasing.
Boots lens cleaner for example
Why don't winos drink it, as it's less toxic than meths?
In the UK, surgical spirit also contains oil, and a topical anaesthetic (usually asprin as methyl salicylate). The formulation in different countries varies widely though.
Really? I have several other lens cleaners here, but they all emphasise alcohol free, although they smell of some organic solvent.
Reminds me, my father went to clean his specs a few weeks ago, but they were just getting more and more smeary. I looked at the lens cleaner (which he could no longer read by this stage), and he'd picked up a bottle a spray-on latex by mistake. That did take some effort to get off...
There's no lack of illegal spirits on sale, but I would not recommend/advise it.
Mmm. I just looked at my wiopes and they have 'denatured alcohol' and water in them..
So meths without the dye, again...
Splash out on a box of lens wipes, these are soaked in IPA and in individual sealed packets. I use them all the time for degreasing. You can get a box of 100 from Savers etc.
I have three Commander hooks stuck on to three gloss painted doors. They have not fallen off in the past 6 years. I used meths to clean the doors where the hooks were going to be. That is good enough for me.
I also carry nail polish remover:-)
Command. Woops
Sounds good will chase up some meths.
It's supposed to be India, not Indiana. If your brewer doesn't even know that it's no wonder the beer is crap.
(There are decent ones in the USA now.)

That may contain some oil or such as a moisturiser. Acetone dries the skin something awful.

I often use surgical spirit for such things.
Not brilliant, the bottle here has 5% w/w that isn't ethanol or methanol.
Those big aerosols of foam gun cleaner are just acetone (AFAIK). Certainly evaporates quickly, and softens plastic so beware.
