Yes, isopropyl and ethyl alcohols are different, hence the different names. However, both of them are better to use as an antiseptic than hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
I never said Coke was harmful to consume, you may have been confused by the Coke SYRUP. The SYRUP is a concentrated liquid that is mixed with carbonated water to make the soda (i.e. fountain soda). Since Coke is acidic , the concentrated syrup has a high acidity.
