Alcohol
is the solvent for shellac -- used to dissolve it so you can apply it. But you don't have to use alcohol to strip it.... you can use methylene chloride if you like the idea of brain damage and liver cancer, or Citristrip, which does a much faster job than going at the surface with denatured alcohol -- and Citristrip is quite a bit safer to use than alcohol (or pretty well anything else, for that matter).
