Teens Turn to Hand Sanitizer to Get Drunk ↘
Wed, 25th Apr — 59 notesSix teenagers have ended up in San Fernando Valley emergency rooms recently with symptoms of alcohol poisoning. But the illicit alcohol didn’t come from their parents’ liquor cabinets or from illegally purchased beers. These teens got drunk — and dangerously ill — drinking hand sanitizer.
They’re not drinking the gel straight from the dispenser. Since most hand sanitizers are 62 percent to 65 percent ethyl alcohol, the drink distilled from it can be as high as 120 proof.
