Was just utilizing a bit of it to clean a surface and noticed the expiration date had passed. It is 70% alcohol and 30% water. How would using it past the expiratin date [even for first aid] be a concern or maybe stated better, how does alcohol deteriorate ? Thanks.
 
According to the Google for whatever that's worth.

Generally, most drugs lose 10% of their potency each year.

70% = 63% after a year
then 56.7% after the second year
down to 51.1% after the third etc.

90% Isopropyl Alcohol is great for lots of reasons (add a little lanolin and it's great for lubricating shell cases for reloading!)
