flea beetle spray - How does it work?

I had flea beetles on my turnip seedlings a couple of days ago. I sprayed them with a dish soap and water solution with just a touch of alcohol added. The beetles are gone. I know it works but I just was wondering what is it about that mixture that works so well.
Any ideas?

    I know the soap suffocates them but I'm not sure the purpose of the alcohol.
