Some info I found on the internet for your interest
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALCOHOL, DRAWING & ACRYLIC INK
ALCOHOL:
Alcohol inks are fast-drying alcohol-based dye inks that create bright flowing textures, popularly used in pour painting. Once the ink is applied, the alcohol evaporates, leaving the dye behind. Once it dries it can be re-wet with rubbing alcohol, creating unique and versatile effects that can’t be achieved with water-based products, such as acrylic paint. Alcohol inks can be applied with a brush or pen, or dropped straight from the pipette in the bottle, on to paper, card, canvas or panel. Brushes and tools should be blotted on a paper towel before rinsed with 70% alcohol solution.

DRAWING INK:
Inks formulated for drawing, painting or calligraphy are usually very fluid (somewhere between milk and water in consistency) and vary in transparency, lightfastness and water solubility. Drawing inks can be pigment or dye based – generally dye based inks are less lightfast than those made with pigment, and may fade with prolonged exposure to sunlight. Waterproof drawing inks tend to be made with pigment and shellac binder (a resin secreted by the lac bug) or an acrylic emulsion, and can be diluted with water while wet. Rewettable water soluble inks offer an open working time, and are suitable for use with refillable fountain pens. There are also permanent water soluble inks than can be diluted in water but once dry can not be rewetted, which are usually better suited to brush or dip pen work.

ACRYLIC INKS
Acrylic Inks are essentially an extremely fluid version of acrylic paint. A Brightly colored, highly expressive, lightfast, and very flowy. Acrylic pigments combine with a liquid acrylic resin emulsion to suspend the pigments and make them flow more fluidly. These pigments bond to the surface of the paper permanently when dried and cannot be reworked, so you have to work fast. Generally, the Acrylic Ink is more resistant to fading because of the pigments contained within.
