WATER IN MY LEFT EAR! HELP!!!?

If you sleep on your ear that is plugged with water will it drain out? I've been told that this was the safest and most natural way! I have already put 4 drops of rubbing alcohol in my ear and let it sit for 10 seconds then I quickly tilted my head over to the other side and it's still a little plugged! My Grandfather told me that if I just sleep on the ear that has water in it, gravity will naturally drain it out! Is this true? Thank you! :)
