Children Getting Drunk Off Hand Sanitizer? It's True

Manufacturers and many doctors say that hand sanitizer is safe as long as children rub it on their hands and never put it in their mouths
Most hand sanitizer is 62 percent alcohol – more than most vodka, which averages about 40 percent alcohol. The high concentration, say the manufacturers, is needed to kill germs.

I had not realize that it had that much alcohol in it. Joe stay out of the sanitizer.:laugh: :laugh:

That's better than huffing gasoline and exfixiation I suppose.. Maybe the war on drugs is working.

Usually just a small dollop of that sanitizer will work for children. I can't imagine why it made the child drunk? She must have licked off every single drop. I also would think the teacher would have noticed the child doing excessive licking. This is good info to know!
