And if we use a spray bottle with isopropyl alcohol on hands and steering wheel etc after shopping or out what is the danger of inhaling. We try to open windows quick but you can still smell it. Lung damage for real?

I'm non-alcoholic but unfortunately consumed 30 ml of whisky (added 70 ml of water to it) in a party and felt little uncomfortable. Does it mean by adding 70 ml of water I made the neat alcohol count to 100 ml instead of my desired 30 ml?
