They are the same. The difference is just that the bottle sold as "rubbing alcohol" has been intentionally poisoned.

You can get “industrial ethanol” that has some methanol added to prevent people from consuming it, and pay liquor tax on it. These are for chemists for specific applications.
None of these things are “the same”.
In the same way that amphetamine is not methamphetamine. Different molecules, different chemistry!
