Recently, Leanne Arndt’s five-year-old daughter reported being dizzy
at school. The child was then rushed to Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann
Arbor. Doctors say the little girl’s ethanol levels were through the
roof. Once her daughter woke up, Leanne asked her what happened. Turns
out, the child tasted several different kinds of hand sanitizer, adding
that strawberry chocolate was her favorite.
“They were telling me that a one ounce ingestion of it can intoxicate
an adult, and it’s about a 140 proof ethanol liquor,” Arndt said.
“That’s exactly what they compared it to is moonshine.”
Leanne says that doctors told her that her daughter just escaped
death, adding that if emergency crews didn’t hook her up to IVs when
they did, she would have been planning a funeral.

A friend of mine, who went to Lithuania for a semester, told me the pharmacy he went to wouldn't sell him rubbing alcohol because he needed a prescription. Apparently, folks there use it to get drunk. Now, I'm wondering if the have the same legislation for hand sanitizer. lol
Drinking rubbing alcohol is some hard core shit! Wrong flavor of alcohol, tis methanol. Hand sanitizer has gotten slightly popular with teens and alcies in the states, at least it contains ethanol though. I would love to visit Lithuania BTW.
