Can you use alcohol to get rid of head lice?
The FDA has approved a Benzyl Alcohol Lotion 5%, the first and only prescription medication that kills head lice by asphyxiation. // Rubbing alcohol may kill lice but is not recommended as it is flammable. It must be reapplied to kill hatched eggs.

About alcohol
The most commonly used alcohol is ethanol and has been produced and consumed by humans for a millennia, in the form of fermented and distilled alcoholic beverages. As with anything, alcohol can be a great or terrible thing. Ethyl alcohol, or ethanol, is an intoxicating ingredient found in beer, wine, and liquor. Alcohol is produced by the fermentation of yeast, sugars, and starches.
