A New Threat To Your Teen's Health: Hand Sanitizers??

Many teenagers have found a new way to get drunk: alcohol-based hand sanitizers! Believe it or not, alcohol-based hand sanitizers typically contain at least 62% ethyl alcohol, which is strong enough to get teens far more intoxicated than a shot of vodka. Instructions to distill the cocktail are easily available online. What's more, teenagers can waltz into any neighborhood pharmacy and buy a liquid hand sanitizer without even raising any eyebrows. This practice is dangerous and has been linked to numerous hospitalizations, some even resulting in death. Alternatives such as, fiteBac SkinCare Germicidal Hand Softening Gel, exist and these safe alcohol-free preparations cannot be abused.
