They already add a bittering agent to ethanol when it's sold as a disinfectant. It's not toxic, just very unpleasant

Not true, they add a bitterant but if it's in the US they're still required to add acetone and methyl isobutyl ketone as well.

That formula clearly spells out rubbing alcohol and disinfectants under the authorized uses. It's toxic and unpleasant.
