If you aren't touching the bottle afterwards, it doesn't really matter. Spray one hand, hold the bottle with a wet, gloved hand, and spray the other. Rub both hands together. IPA kills as it dries, which is why 70% is better than 90+ percent. More residence time = more time to kill.
70% IPA is remarkably effective, and with gloves you can use it over and over without it massacring your hands.
Any time I'm doing work in a laminar flow hood I have to spray my hands every time they either come within 6 inches of the edge of the hood, or for excursions. We use rubbing alcohol (albeit with sterile water, not that it really matters for the public, as you aren't going to be concerned with killing spores, as viruses don't form spores).
