    Because theres only one type of addict in the world right?

    I’m open to be proven wrong, is there cases of alcoholics poisoning themselves with hand sanitizer still?

      It’s common enough you’re not going to find news stories about it unless there’s some special circumstance to make it newsworthy.

      It is the reason the NIH reduces the amount of alcohol in the ER sanitizer dispensers.

      I also know people have emptied a whole hospital floor’s sanitizers in pursuit of relief from the DTs.

        You know first hand of a scenario like that? Were they on psychiatric hold or something? Why would a hospital not treat DTs?

        Edit: is there hand sanitizer that isnt dangerous to drink? That might be where I’m getting hung up.

            And you have drank hand sanitizer? My experience is that even as an alcoholic I would never drink it because the general consensus around my area is it would kill you or blind you.

            So yes I’m very skeptical that anyone regularly drinks hand sanitizer.

            Maybe in your area hand sanitizer is just vodka in a bottle though so who knows.
