Btw, if someone else hasn't already welcomed you, let me be the first to welcome you to the forum
I talked about isopropyl because it is resistant to isopropyl, you know isopropyl. Not other kinds of alcohol, but isopropyl! )

Abs is resistant to Isopropyl Alcohol, which is the top value in a scale made of:
R = Resistant
A = Excellent – No effect
B = Good – Minor effect
C = Fair – Moderate effect
Hey! You actually have data! Well done.
I would stay away from ANY alcohol based products as a precautionary.
Different environments affect different chemicals, and different percentages present conflicting results.
Also, just because ABS is R (not Excellent) to Isopropyl Alcohol doesn't mean it'll be resistant to people that clean their keycaps 5-10+ times a day.
In 6-60 months no one is going to look back at this thread and say, "golly, that Chris guy ruined my $xxx.xx keycaps."
I won't feel anything at all if you cause a color change in your keycaps (though the use of petrol over hemp
bioplastics is a shame).
So take my words with whatever grain of salt you prefer.
