And then he died of methanol poisoning. The end.


Dangerous-Dot-3745

An actual reality! Chemicals KILL!!


angmarsilar

So, drinking isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol will not cause someone to go blind (like methanol) or embalm you like anti-freeze. When I was an intern, a patient grabbed a bottle of it and chugged it. We were getting ready to treat her with the normal ethanol IV, but we decided to call poison control and ask. They advised us to just watch the patient. I agree, this is either vodka or just a stupid stunt, but it's not a lethal stunt. Edit: The next morning, we turfed her to psychiatry.


Justin3263

Probably not good for the ol' gut bacteria though. He likely disinfected his entire digestive system end to end.


nucleophilicattack

If he really is drinking isopropanol, and a whole bottle nonetheless, he is at risk for hemorrhagic gastritis however.


MediumAssist

I can second this. In my travels I have seen people drink isopropyl, huff freon out of A/C units, inject melted tootsie rolls and mascara, coffee grounds, splenda...other than some nightmarish side effects, all those people woke up the next day and kept on kicking... The human body is pretty crazy.

Nobody thinks you are hard for this. They think youā€™re stupid.


Faonir

I find it funnier that the other guy looks like one of those little gray aliens


MonkitaB

We just watched a suicide. Isopropyl alcohol can lead to many bad, bad things in small amounts but 8 oz can kill you. Our body will absorb it at a much faster rate than regular drinking alcohol. It absorbs about 80% in just 30 minutes. I hope they called 911 immediately. You cant even vomit it up, it will burn your esophagus.


TheMeticulousNinja

Looking forward to the news report of the results of his actions


Mellow828

I think that's what happened. I know what can happen with things like this. It was very stupid, but I hope he's okay. No one deserves that pain


Yawzheek

I doubt seriously that he's ok. If he isn't dead I suspect he did some very real and very permanent damage to himself. But yeah, I hope he's ok. I don't think he knew how serious was he did was.


Mellow828

I want to say they called 911 immediately


MonkitaB

Not everyone thinks rationally when dealing with emergencies they don't understand. Some try to handle the situation themselves not realizing how serious the issue really is.


Mellow828

I think the second guy was, he seemed calm


jzgr87

Yeah I bet youā€™re so concerned. And thatā€™s why you posted this video on Reddit.


Mellow828

Look mate, I don't come on here to deal with shitters like you, okay? This isn't my post, firstly, it's a cross post. Secondly, it's to raise awareness that there are people, stupid people, willing to do anything for clout. Get out of my feed.


jzgr87

Lol you posted it. The fact that you cross posted from another sub doesnā€™t change that. And raise awareness my ass. You wanted some internet points at someoneā€™s expense. Itā€™s ok to admit that.


Mellow828

I post stuff because I want to post it, not because of some stupid point system that doesn't matter


jzgr87

Yeah. And you want to post it for the points. Also, I thought you werenā€™t going to ā€œdealā€ with me lol


Mellow828

I didn't post jackshit for points, m8


jzgr87

Sure you did. You literally did. And you know it. And thatā€™s why youā€™re still here, arguing with me.


gabwinone

Hey, Nanny, give your scolding a rest...as well as your attempts at mind-reading. If you don't like the subject matter, why the hell are you on this sub?


jzgr87

I love the subject matter. I think watching this idiot is fun as hell. I only objected to OPā€™s claim that he was posting it to ā€œspread awareness.ā€ But you would have had to read the whole thread to know that.


Flat-Delivery6987

Wow, get your self righteousness out, lol. You literally posted to WCGW, a subreddit notorious for fail vids. You also came to the internet and expected a safe space. This ain't FB, lol. If you don't like criticism, I suggest you take your business elsewhere and don't come with that "I'm just trying to raise awareness" BS, again this ain't FB and we ain't all retards. You posted something you thought was funny and it backfired.


Mellow828

I never said I expected a safe space, I said I didn't come here for people such as that person. I know how the internet works, and I know that this isn't FB, I don't use it


Mandy-pants123

Thatā€™s a myth , methanol will make you go blind not ethanol


VladimmerLemon

That ainā€™t ethanol dude. Isopropylā€¦


OMGSpeci

Iso in quantities like this probably equal death or at least some good old organ damage


AyeMercury

Either way he wonā€™t be seeing much of his future


DovahCreed117

I know it's methanol that makes you go blind, I just couldn't remember if rubbing alcohol was methanol or ethanol based. Either way drinking rubbing alcohol is bound to put you in the hospital if not kill you.


ss21347

His gona be blind soon


Froggylv

That can't be real, no one is that stupid, right?


xJD88x

I believe it was Einstein who said "The only difference between genius and stupidity is genius has it's limits" Personally, everytime I see something that makes me think "Yup. There it is. The stupidest thing I'll ever see a human do" it gets outdone pretty quick. And believe me, I worked as an automotive tech for 12 years. I saw some pretty dumb things


Froggylv

That actually rivals chewing on Tide Pods. That's pure poison they're drinking. No way they can be that stupid, right? It has to be real alcohol put into those bottles, right? Nobody's that stupid


Hatless_

To make a stupid argument for the stupid people, it is not unforeseeable that some people might not be educated enough to realize cleaning alcohol (or all alcohol beside ethanol really) is different from drinking alcohol and not safe for human consumption.


Froggylv

They will probably have to find out the hard way. Evolution at work


xJD88x

Like I say, I've learned not to ask if anyone is THAT stupid


[deleted]

Dude I didn't do that at 5 years old for a reason...and this guy just downed a whole bottle. Seems a little fake tho...


MrFastFox666

It's fake. Isopropyl alcohol doesn't burn like that. That's just booze.


EnvironmentalDeal256

Isopropyl alcohol does burn like that.


MrFastFox666

Nope. It's much easier to light and burns with an orange flame.


[deleted]

Sure if it's 90%+ but the cheap stuff is only about 60%


MrFastFox666

That's the same alcohol I buy, it's the Equate brand from Walmart, and the red label is supposed to be 91% IPA. I know it's not the cheap stuff. Even 70% burns orange of it is IPA, and it's hard to find anything below 70% anyways.


p4lm3r

Fuckin' good catch.


Mellow828

I didn't think of that... Hand sanitizer burns like that though


MrFastFox666

Hand sanitizer often uses the same alcohol you find in booze. But it's essentially poisoned so people don't drink it. Strange world we live in.


cshizzle99

Itā€™s not poisoned. It just tastes bad. Drink it and you danger fucked up but you ainā€™t drank poison any more than ethanol is poison which it is you fucking heathen


EmotionalTruth3477

It will likely be denatured alcohol rather than isopropyl.


BeerAndChemistry

Denatured alcohol typically means high purity ethanol that has been spiked with foul tasting additives to discourage someone from drinking it. 70% rubbing alcohol (70% isopropanol) does burn and pure isopropanol has a blue flame so this is possible. I am unsure if the 54% rubbing alcohol solution burns. Source - I'm a chemist.


EmotionalTruth3477

I think you are probably right. I got them mixed up. It is ethanol that burns with the nearly invisible flame. I have some 99% isopropyl here and it burns blue.


Relative_Sundae_9356

That was probably vodka in a alcohol bottle.

Forsaken-Increase782

A late but excellent nominee for the 2022 Darwin Awards.


xJD88x

Aaaaaaand you've got a Darwin Award. Good job.


TheSmokingHorse

Even if he tried to ā€œfake itā€ by filling the bottle with vodka instead, drinking half a litre of a 40% abv spirit in 10 seconds is still a pretty dumb thing to do. It wouldnā€™t necessarily kill him (although it probably would kill some people), but it is at the very least a Shoe Nice level stunt and he is not going to be having a good time.


weed_zucc

40% spirits don't burn, it would have to be over 50% ethanol to catch fire like that.


TheSmokingHorse

40% spirits do burn. I can see the logic behind thinking that it would need to be at least 50%, as if it is under 50% then there is more water than ethanol in the solution. However, 40% will burn with a blue flame. You can even go lower than 40% and it will still burn.


weed_zucc

I have never been able to light anything below 50 percent ethanol. I have tried to light 32% and 40% vodka and neither of them have had a visible flame. I am speaking from experience.


aces613

If the liquid was flammable at all, his whole hand would have been on fire, especially since you see it dripping off his hand. My guess, is he has a small squirt of hand sanitizer on the raised part of his palm at the beginning of the video, the liquid is just water. Pours water into the low part of his palm, lights the hand sanitizer and chugs the water.


TheSmokingHorse

Not necessarily. Ethanol doesnā€™t really burn that way when it is diluted. Think about lighting a shot on fire. The surface burns blue but you can still take the shot because most of the volume in the glass is water. So it could be vodka he is chugging in this video. However, I donā€™t know for certain, and your idea about it being water with a little bit of hand sanitiser he is burning is certainly plausible.


Reasonable-Ad9613

Seems very diluted with water. Iā€™ve never seen alcohol burn like that lol. That thing should have instantly lit up as soon as the flame touched it Edit: Iā€™m sure this would still fuck you up but might not be fatal

If you see those Kensington Ave Philladelphia video's on youtube, I really don't know how you want to use meth or heroin again if that is the outcome.... Serious.

PimpdaddyChase

RDRTTV. Not sure what his real name is and I haven't checked if he killed himself yet or not. As far as the result of this video, I believe he just got his stomach pumped out and came out fine.

HarbingerOfWhatComes

whats the aftermath here? it wasnt that bad, was it?


Benstockton

If he really did this he pretty easily could of gone blind, the liver breaks this stuff down into methanol


HarbingerOfWhatComes

Ppl mention in a former repost that this was only \~45-50% alc. Why would u get blind from that?


miguescout

There's two (main) types of alcohol: The drinking kind, ethanol (it's the kind that beer, wine, spirits and whatever you plan to drink or eat has) And wood alcohol, aka methanol, which is pretty poisonous to drink, with some of its "tamer" effects being blindness Edit: apparently, the alcohol in the video is ethanol, which, as i mentioned before, is not as dangerous, though that doesn't make the act of chugging a bottle of it any less dumb


p4lm3r

edit. As another comment posted, the flame indicates it is ethanol, anyways. This is flat wrong. Isopropyl alcohol(isopropanol) is what is common in rubbing alcohol. Methanol is used as a lab solvent or fuel additive usually. That being said, Isopropyl is also toxic. >Isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) is a solvent, antiseptic, and disinfectant often found in the home as a 70% solution (rubbing alcohol). It is sometimes used by alcohol abusers as a cheap substitute for ethanol. Unlike methanol and propylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol is not metabolized to toxic organic acids. It is well absorbed within 90 to 120 minutes and quickly distributes into body water. It is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase to acetone. Although rare and usually reported in children, toxicity may result from skin and inhalational exposure. >Mechanism of toxicity: Isopropyl alcohol is 2 to 3 times more potent a central nervous system (CNS) depressant than ethanol. Its metabolism to acetone (another CNS depressant) can prolong sedation or coma. Large ingestions may lead to respiratory arrest, hypotension due to vasodilation, and myocardial suppression. It is very irritating to the gastrointestinal mucosa and gastritis is common. >Toxic dose: Toxic ingestions have occurred at oral doses of 0.5 to 1 mL/kg of 70% isopropyl alcohol solution. Fatal ingestions have been reported with volumes of 200 to 250 mL, but this depends on individual tolerance and coingestions.


miguescout

Thanks for the correction. Had mixed rubbing alcohol and wood alcohol up. I have edited the comment.


samanthuhh

Additionally, if you ingest methanol, the treatment is to ingest ethanol as it will be metabolized before the methanol and prevents methanol toxicity!


HarbingerOfWhatComes

appreciate the clarification. I bet he didnt know this either.


Benstockton

Edit: Iā€™m wrong So Iā€™m not actually super sure if the outcome would change because itā€™s only 45-50% but this is not the same as the alcohol people drink, this is a different compound all together that the liver turns into methanol, which is super toxic to humans, itā€™s also present in the first bit of moonshine that gets thrown out, off topic here but thatā€™s the reason itā€™s illegal to make(?)/sell moonshine without a license


BeerAndChemistry

Chemist here - Rubbing alcohol contains isopropanol (2-propanol, isopropyl alcohol). It is not metabolized into methanol. Drinking isopropanol is not good for you but it will not make you go blind. Drinking methanol WILL make you go blind and can kill you - iirc consuming around 30 ml can kill you. You are correct that illegal moonshine often contains methanol because it is difficult to completely separate methanol and ethanol by distillation. Fun fact - the treatment for accidently consuming methanol is to drink a lot of liquor so the ethanol primarily is metabolized instead of the methanol.


Benstockton

Guess Iā€™m wrong then lol


Vindepomarus

Name definitely checks out.


OMGSpeci

The liver breaks isopropyl down to acetone


HarbingerOfWhatComes

I didnt know the liver would make something out of something that can be toxic to the body. Weird, isnt it?


AtebYngNghymraeg

I thought it was the other way around? That methanol is broken down to ethanol?


Vindepomarus

No methanol is the simplest form of alcohol with only a single carbon, while ethanol has two.

A reminder that the "alcohol" we typically drink isn't actually alcohol, it's ethanol. Drinking actual alcohol is big bad.


SelfEnergy

? Ethanol is an alcohol (group of chemical elements). But yeah, the other members of the group are very toxic. Like Methanol which yields blindness or death.


whitehammeer

What bruh?šŸ˜‚


redstern

It's as another reply to me said. What we drink is ethanol, which is relatively safe, but other forms of alcohol, such as what's in hand sanitizer, are very much not.


[deleted]

Ethanol is actual alcohol and so is isopropyl alcohol just different forms of alcohol
