It’s mind blowing to think of someone deliberately drinking hand sanitizer to get an alcohol buzz / high. However, just as many teens drink cough syrup or inhale whip cream vapors from a can, or try Jenkem, many have discovered hand sanitizers as the source of a potential high. It’s not just teens who are drinking and using these methods to get high, adults, too, have been using hand sanitizers to catch a buzz because most sanitizers are 95% alcohol. One man, a middle-aged banker at Chase Bank, admitted to purposely drinking hand sanitizer throughout the day as an antidote to his high-stress work environment. Then realized he had become addicted to it, very quickly.
