Drinking Hand Sanitizer

This week 6 teens in California were sent to the emergency room with alcohol poisoning after drinking hand sanitizer to get drunk. It doesn't sound appealing, but you have to remember that kids don't have access to alcohol so they're very creative," says Dr. Billy Mallon who works at the emergency room where the kids were taken in Los Angeles. It may sound dumb but doctors say that is  very dangerous because hand sanitizer is so inexpensive  and accessible and instructions for distillation can be found on the internet. Liquid hand sanitizer is 62% ethyl alcohol and makes a 120-proof liquid.
