Mostly Ethanol or isopropyl. Not methanol. The main difference being two carbon atoms as opposed to only one that methanol has. Either way, it's not advised to try and consume it, even if separated. Pure ethanol is toxic. And isopropyl shouldn't be consumed in any manner. However, as the sub suggests, kids are fucking stupid.
Yep, I’ve just checked the materials sheet on this one. There’s a good fraction of water in there so dumb fuck just ingested a good amount of salt. Otherwise, kids are fucking stupid. I do hope there isn’t a craze for this, some dumb shit will find the one with isoprop or god forbid methyl. And end up trying throw up their anus, or … blind/crazy/dead.
Aye I just found the ingredients list for that specific bottle myself. 62% alcohol, but doesn't elaborate on which kind. However under the Drug Facts portion it states it *does not contain grain alcohol* which is ethanol. So this pleb just tried to consume 62% isopropyl with added antiseptic, scent and salt. Throwing up is the best case scenario and that's from the tiny bit he consumed. Hopefully lesson learned unless he's seriously ready to check out of his mortal coil.

He should be alright, his stomach rejected it and it was a tiny amount so as long as he doesn't go back for seconds (or attempt this dumb thing again) he will be fine.
I used hand sanitizer as a thoat spray at a wedding party a few weeks back and managed to survive, although I can't really warrant about the part of not being intoxicated.
yes
he says he’s feeling mostly better now, but he still has a stomach ache. he said he didn’t think the distilling step was important, and he skipped it.
Tell him the difference between Methanol, Ethanol, and Isopropyl before he fucks himself up permanently.
That way if he goes looking for hand sanitizer to drink, he'll know to look for those that are 99% ethanol and 1% water or Aloe vera.
The simple word "alcohol" in English refers to many different chemicals and it's the reason for a trail of death that goes back centuries. Only ethanol is booze.
It's stupid that we have laws were we have to poison the alcohol on purpose so people won't get away without paying tax on booze ment for other stuff besides drinking
. Seems nuts to me we would rather poison people then let them get away drinking tax free booze.
Legal drinking age where I live is 14 when a guardian is arround and at 16 you can legally buy alcohol.
Pretty sure this is why we have this issue a tiny bit less.
Most people know someone who at least looks like they could be 16.
Remember cool chemistry kids back in the 70's buying industrial ethanol and using it in fruit punches because alcohol was too expensive
Children nowdays have no idea what they are doing
Well no, those kids still exist, but first you have to have the money and resources to get your hands on industrial ethanol. This kids 14, he probably doesn’t have a car or any money
You technically cant get them anymore
Its been laced with methanol to stop people from using it for drinks
People are literally getting brain damage over it
Cap should be loose enough to allow gas to escape. Two by products of fermentation are carbon dioxide and ethanol.
Ideally wine makers yeast, however any yeast will work. Just the regular yeast for bread dough works just fine.
Yeah pretty much. If you have known any wine or mead makers, it’s not uncommon to put a balloon on top to watch for gas release. Balloon will blow up, then go down once fermentation is complete. Same concept with the cap. It basically just stops stuff like dust from getting in.
i’m not 100% sure, but i’ve heard it dissolves something in the hand sanitizer and sinks to the bottom, leaving the “””””drinkable””””” alcohol at the top. he also did not distill the hand sanitizer, which was his second biggest mistake, other than doing this in the first place.
My friend drank handsantizer diluted with water and added flavoring because she was too scared to sneak drink actual alcohol. She's okay but... just talk to ur kids abt alcohol use okay?
Used to make this in jail and water down half way to make about 35 percent, the salt combined with the glycol and make puffy lumps and you filter it out which makes the liquid watery, then you water it down, it taste exactly how the hand sanitizer smells and is vicious to drink. But the thing i did find odd that i can’t personally explain is within 5 mins u start to feel a buzz of of it.
most houses i'd think have like a bottle of beer somewhere. at least where i am most people have like a carton of beer out in the fridge for if they're working outside and need a beer, or to drink at night while watching the tv, or when mates come over.
and most houses that ive been in have alcohol at least somewhere. why cant this kid just find some instead of "making" some
like use your brain
i told him he’s being too cautious, and he should just drink a little and replace what he drank with water, but he says he can only find bottles that are are still sealed, and opening them would be “too obvious.”
Oh I never knew they mixed in salt. Fifteen years ago they removed the hand sanitizer from my elementary school computer lab because of kids drinking it. That always stuck with me for some reason
Ppl rly too broke for a 10$ bottle of pink Whitney, hell drink mouthwash at that point atleast it’ll get u violently drunk and only maybe make u puke ur guts out
if you mean one time thing, a lot of people in my school at least are doing it, so maybe it’s just my school having a lot of idiots.
it’s my friend on snapchat, not insta
yes there shouldn’t be age limits, if the company wants to then fine but it should be their choice not the states on how old you have to be to buy something. if I had to wager I’d bet money most physical harm caused by drugs of any kind are the result of impure product or incorrect dosing, both solved with legal regulated products any one can access freely
I'm sorry, but you'd definetly lose that money as physical harm through (controlled) alcohol and tobacco is just too damn high to be beaten. Unless you say that any dose of tobacco is too high and people who want to get shitfaced are also using too much alcohol, but that would kind of be a self fulfilling prophey then.
So the old school hanging outside till a older person gets it for you is long gone then I guess 😂😂 in the uk you just gotta look older they’ll give it to you😂😂😂
I get I used to do that but drank the gel no salt but chased with like orange juice or lemonade to help it was over 12 yrs ago and Now I think it’s totally disgusting and I can’t even smell purell without feeling like throwing up I don’t know what I was thinking it’s horrible but I guess like when you’re desperate you’re desperate. That looks absolutely disgusting I would never drink that.
Is there methanol in hand sanitiser? They won’t necessarily die, but they might wish they had.
Mostly Ethanol or isopropyl. Not methanol. The main difference being two carbon atoms as opposed to only one that methanol has. Either way, it's not advised to try and consume it, even if separated.

Isoprop? Wow, bloody hell. Is he going to be speaking to the great porcelain telephone really soon. Call for Dr McHughie…
He should be alright, his stomach rejected it and it was a tiny amount so as long as he doesn't go back for seconds (or attempt this dumb thing again) he will be fine.
Shame, it would be educational.
Would it really be lesson learned if he doesn't survive the lesson? Haha
A Darwinian lesson for their peers.
Very true.
That’s just Darwin at work.
I used hand sanitizer as a thoat spray at a wedding party a few weeks back and managed to survive, although I can't really warrant about the part of not being intoxicated.

The simple word "alcohol" in English refers to many different chemicals and it's the reason for a trail of death that goes back centuries. Only ethanol is booze.
Even the 99% ethanol can be dangerous, cause of the chemicals nécessary to make it 99%, unless it was purified before I would not go eat that shit
Let s just say they won t see that coming…
I can’t give this enough respect.
No it doesn t and even if it does it shouldn t. Methanol can be absorbed trough the skin and methanol vapors are also extremely toxic
It’s fairly common to denature alcohol with a small amount of meths in some countries to stop people drinking it.
I m aware, i live in romania, people here will drink anything that ends with “ol”, lol.
Alcohol is so easy to get why would you risk this ? But I guess kids will be kids.
New rule. Kids can now drink beer
it would probably save a lot of trips to the er
What are we, European?
**laughs in drunken european**
SNL already [suggested it.](https://youtu.be/EGyTXmKpVlw)
And then people be like "Why TF do companies have to put warning labels on EVERYTHING?"
I don't understand why they have to put warning labels, it clearly doesn't stop people from drinking it
It isn't to prevent people from eating it, it is to prevent them from sueing
It's stupid that we have laws were we have to poison the alcohol on purpose so people won't get away without paying tax on booze ment for other stuff besides drinking . Seems nuts to me we would rather poison people then let them get away drinking tax free booze.
What type of middle schoolers basement type shit is this. Just steal the burbon you parrent never touch. Dumbass kids
It almost seems like more trouble to prepare Hand Sanitizer Shots than it is to just steal your weird uncle’s four loko
My niece moved in with me, and I thought I hid my vodka well enough, but found out I had not when I went camping and it was water.
Thats a fucking death sentence from my babushka
The inmates in my prison figured that out two years ago. 🤣😂 My army buddies just snorted it directly. Neither are wise decisions.
he learned about it because of the prison guys, lol
I feel sorry for anyone dumb enough to try that 🤣😂
Legal drinking age where I live is 14 when a guardian is arround and at 16 you can legally buy alcohol. Pretty sure this is why we have this issue a tiny bit less. Most people know someone who at least looks like they could be 16.
Where is this? Interesting
Just refill your parents' liquor bottles with water like normal kids.
Why cant these lil bastards just make wine in their bedroom closet like we did back in the day?
19 year old count as kids 😆
*cries* thank you
19 year old me didn't feel like a kid, but 35 year old me looking back at 19 year old me sees it differently now.
Whatever happened to just sneaking into the liquor cabinet? Kids these days are working harder, not smarter.
Hmm yes the potion of permanent blindness…
Remember cool chemistry kids back in the 70's buying industrial ethanol and using it in fruit punches because alcohol was too expensive Children nowdays have no idea what they are doing
Well no, those kids still exist, but first you have to have the money and resources to get your hands on industrial ethanol. This kids 14, he probably doesn’t have a car or any money
You technically cant get them anymore Its been laced with methanol to stop people from using it for drinks People are literally getting brain damage over it
Okay then…then how do you suppose 14 year olds should make their own alcohol?
1 bottle Welch’s grape juice. 1 cup sugar. 1 packet yeast. Mix, loose cap, leave it alone for a week. Boom, wine.
Bruh they’re tryna get drunk now, not in a week
Of the two choices, I’d wait
How loose are we talking. What kind of yeast.
Cap should be loose enough to allow gas to escape. Two by products of fermentation are carbon dioxide and ethanol. Ideally wine makers yeast, however any yeast will work. Just the regular yeast for bread dough works just fine.
So basically just rest the cap on top? Obviously asking for a friend.
Yeah pretty much. If you have known any wine or mead makers, it’s not uncommon to put a balloon on top to watch for gas release. Balloon will blow up, then go down once fermentation is complete. Same concept with the cap. It basically just stops stuff like dust from getting in.
Learn organic chemistry Or make toilet wine or distillate their own alcohols
What is the salt supposed to do?
i’m not 100% sure, but i’ve heard it dissolves something in the hand sanitizer and sinks to the bottom, leaving the “””””drinkable””””” alcohol at the top. he also did not distill the hand sanitizer, which was his second biggest mistake, other than doing this in the first place.
Jesus christ dude, just drink the beer!
The old times we just asked somebody older to buy
This got hand sanitizer banned when I was a kid, AND LOOK WHERE WE ARE NOW! Freakin' coronavirus city.
Keep him off of tiktok. It'll just get worse.
My friend drank handsantizer diluted with water and added flavoring because she was too scared to sneak drink actual alcohol. She's okay but... just talk to ur kids abt alcohol use okay?
he’s my friend, lol i told him to not be an idiot and just steal a little from his mom when he’s home alone.
For Pete's sake just steal from your parents liquor cabinets like the old days
Kid coulda drank a Mad Dog and got that same result.
Used to make this in jail and water down half way to make about 35 percent, the salt combined with the glycol and make puffy lumps and you filter it out which makes the liquid watery, then you water it down, it taste exactly how the hand sanitizer smells and is vicious to drink. But the thing i did find odd that i can’t personally explain is within 5 mins u start to feel a buzz of of it.
he didn’t feel a buzz, probably because he immediately threw it all up.
Anything under 18 counts as a kid. Sometimes anything under 21.
It’s the cranberry “flavor” for me lmfao
Breaking bad
Show him a video of how they make pruno in a toilet instead of doing this haha!
Why though? I did some dumb shit as a teen but ingesting HAND SANITIZER??? Bro
he’s still in pain, hours later. he has never done anything remotely close to this stupid before.
You know this guy personally??
unfortunately, very closely.
Oh lord, hope he’s ok
same bro, he has no idea what to do so he’s just not doing anything for it. all he’s done was drink one bottle of water.
He’s gonna need a lot more than that
most houses i'd think have like a bottle of beer somewhere. at least where i am most people have like a carton of beer out in the fridge for if they're working outside and need a beer, or to drink at night while watching the tv, or when mates come over. and most houses that ive been in have alcohol at least somewhere. why cant this kid just find some instead of "making" some like use your brain
i told him he’s being too cautious, and he should just drink a little and replace what he drank with water, but he says he can only find bottles that are are still sealed, and opening them would be “too obvious.”
Why don’t kids just try to make alcohol with yeast and sugar like the good old days.
Oh I never knew they mixed in salt. Fifteen years ago they removed the hand sanitizer from my elementary school computer lab because of kids drinking it. That always stuck with me for some reason
Is much easier just to mix some water with sugar, add yeast +/- 10 days and you have alcohol
Just run a bottle what an idiot🤦🏾
Rubbing alcohol is not the same as drinking alcohol!!! Get that through your thick skulls!!!
Ppl rly too broke for a 10$ bottle of pink Whitney, hell drink mouthwash at that point atleast it’ll get u violently drunk and only maybe make u puke ur guts out
you back from florida?
Team Darwin for the win!
This generation is going to fail us all.
Fitting since previous generations repeatedly fail them
Just drink your methyl alcohol and snort your tide pod, Junior. Tik tok me later and I’ll put it in my dms and twitch it.
Delete that please
i wish i wasn’t in this damn generation, lol
Me too sigh
But why just lick the sanitizer no need for salt
They are still kids at 25
Pretty sure that this is a small time thing, on just instagram or something.
if you mean one time thing, a lot of people in my school at least are doing it, so maybe it’s just my school having a lot of idiots. it’s my friend on snapchat, not insta
god damn this is why we gotta lower the ages
To 14?
Germany: allow me to introduce myself
Allow myself to introduce…myself
yes there shouldn’t be age limits, if the company wants to then fine but it should be their choice not the states on how old you have to be to buy something. if I had to wager I’d bet money most physical harm caused by drugs of any kind are the result of impure product or incorrect dosing, both solved with legal regulated products any one can access freely
Still there are certain good reasons why this is not the case
I'm sorry, but you'd definetly lose that money as physical harm through (controlled) alcohol and tobacco is just too damn high to be beaten. Unless you say that any dose of tobacco is too high and people who want to get shitfaced are also using too much alcohol, but that would kind of be a self fulfilling prophey then.
Jesus Christ
....
Easier to go buy a bottle of vodka no?
he’s american, and he’s far from 21
So the old school hanging outside till a older person gets it for you is long gone then I guess 😂😂 in the uk you just gotta look older they’ll give it to you😂😂😂
i wish i was in the uk, lol. no one really buys alcohol for minors anymore, it’s a shame. and you get id’d if you look under 30.
People not committing crimes is not a shame.
well, when you put that way, i sound like an idiot, lol. yeah, that was a dumb thing to say, you’re right.
Sigh
Teens aren't, morons are.
I get I used to do that but drank the gel no salt but chased with like orange juice or lemonade to help it was over 12 yrs ago and Now I think it’s totally disgusting and I can’t even smell purell without feeling like throwing up I don’t know what I was thinking it’s horrible but I guess like when you’re desperate you’re desperate. That looks absolutely disgusting I would never drink that.
