ELI5: what is the difference between rubbing alcohol and drinking alcohol

EDIT: to specify I am asking mainly about the chemical difference.

First, all alcohols are poisonous; ethyl alcohol (booze) is just the least poisonous, and our bodies are able to clear it out before it kills us, unless we try very hard.

Rubbing alcohol is either a different alcohol (commonly isopropyl alcohol), and/or it is "denatured," which means that something vile has been added to it to make it taste bad and/or be more poisonous.

You really don't want to drink rubbing alcohol.
