That seems deadly for some plants. (as Redbarron pointed out)
Maybe some sturdy greens could handle that and some large established tomatoes...
but most young tender leafed plants i think would suffer like basils.

First time taking a formula/recipe from the internet do a test on the most affected plant but
not everything.

Alcohol evaporates quickly so probably just direct contact is the killer...then only the
soap/h2o is left behind.
