2) I read you can put your wet phone in a bag full of rice and the rice will absorb the moisture.

LOL :P
The rice idea is a good one. Alcohol is not a good recommendation, as it's almost as bad as water for the electronics, and even 99.x% contains water.
Go to a craft store and get some silica gel used for drying flowers. Slip the phone in a sock and cover it with the silica gel in a closed container. It will be dry as a bone in an hour or two.
