"Teens are reportedly filming themselves downing hand sanitizer because of the 62% ethyl alcohol content"
The "story" is incomplete Soda Head "reporters"....First off...how many teens are we talking about? ...3, 4,,5, 10?... or several thousand? Not expecting any answers. Cuz it's only a 'sensationalist story' anyway. Strictly for the purpose of 'marketing news'.
Most likely some You Tube is showing a few kids doing this, but of course it becomes:
"Teens are reportedly filming themselves...."
What a load of BS!!

We've heard of drinking cough syrup, huffing compressed air, snorting "bath salts," and smoking synthetic spice, but this is a new one. Teens are reportedly filming themselves downing hand sanitizer because of the 62% ethyl alcohol content (hard liquor is typically 40%-45%) and posting the videos on YouTube. Six kids have already landed in the emergency room because of it.
Dr. Young-jin Sue, a pediatric toxicologist at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, told The New York Daily News, "Teens don’t have access to ethyl alcohol so they resort to crazy things. It's very concentrated, just a few ounces can make someone sick." Doctors suggest parents buy their hand sanitizer in foam form if they're worried, but even then, the teens can buy it themselves. Do you think this is the sickest high yet?

over the counter distribution. Too many items have already been relagated from self
service shelves to over the counter or even requiring a physicians prescription for use
on account of intentional and deliberate abuse. In extreme cases, fatalities or retardation
are well known. I use a lot of hand sanitizers myself and again, I do not want to see them
be yanked from the shelf and have to inconvenience a store clerk every time that I need
to aquire a bottle of hand sanitizer to use for it's intended purpose. Regretfully, it may
be necessary for the greater good. Another case in point of a few rotten apples spoiling
the entire bushel for the vast majority of good apples. In essence, those of us with good
common horsesense have to suffer as the result of a few thoughtless fools with no better
way to seek their thrills than this.
new ways to die.
That's just plain crazy.
These kids should go back to drinking mouthwash, like my generation did.
Now, I know that not all pot smokers are like my parents, but my life was so out of control and terrifying I don't want to even risk that.
I get my dull high watching my husband race...
As for your husband, I'm sure he celebrates with a few beers. I don't know any stock-car drivers that don't. Unless he hasn't won a race. Then, I suggest he let his hair down a little and start winning those races. That's an expensive sport to not win.
I am a teenager and I don't even attempt to get high
