My experience is "it depends".
I am assuming we are talking about isopropyl alcohol. I have 70% and 91% ... what you usually find in the local drug store ... and it seems to be pretty useless. Mineral spirits or acetone seems to work at least as well or better.
I have some 99.9% that works really well, especially when cleaning flux from electrical circuit boards.
40% Vodka only gave the impression of doing a great job.
