The old idea of borrowing days helps us navigate this 'untidyness' in a a different way.

2 months later, I'm not seeing any effect from the alcohol on the plastic. Maybe I should say *this* plastic, as there are many different types.

So anyways, if you wanted to try adding pure alcohol to ink, perhaps to help it dry faster, there are at least *some* pens that it won't hurt.
