I had a boss who would stand out near the entrance of the restaurant, right next to the host stand, and lather him self up with a bottle of rubbing alcohol to help him cool down. It was the strangest thing I have ever seen, and the guest tables and the bar were within reaching distance of him. The host table was outside on a deck, in the south, so it got really hot. Everyone would watch, not knowing if they should be confused, disgusted, or just ignore it because he did it almost every day. His arms and legs looked like he was moisturizing with rubbing alcohol too.

But I can't argue that it doesn't work to cool down.

Also, would love to hear the opinion of someone with some medical knowledge on this. This can't be good for him lol

I have no medical knowledge. But I've made my own cologne and I read that it's bad to use rubbing alcohol for fragrances so I can't imagine that would be good for you in such copious amounts.

His arms and legs made the Nevada desert look like a rainforest. More cracks than the grand canyon. But at least he wasn't too hot lol
