Their Experience

Ask CDCR San Quintin State Prison 2008. We installed Purex dispensers throughout the prison to combat diseases… and it was a Roaring Success (as in Roaring Drunk) I mean we had Long lines of prisoners fist fighting to use them.

Ronald Richards

@RonaldRichards

Simultaneously we had a problem with prisoner drunkenness that we couldn't figure out. I mean , the guards searched cells multiple times to no avail.

Wade Warren

@WadeWarren

Alcohol based exposures through inadvertently consuming hand sanitizer, have been observed to produce more negative side effects for children than non-alcohol based.

Courtney Henry

@CourtneyHenry

However rare side effects observed among children can be metabolic acidosis, coma, respiratory depression, and hypoglycemia.

Albert Flores

@AlbertFlores

So yes, the alcohol (ethanol) in hand sanitizers can be absorbed through the skin, but no, it would not cause intoxication.

Kristin Watson

@KristinWatson

The principal alcohol in Purell hand sanitizer (to take the most talked-about brand) is 70% ethanol (ethyl alcohol), with a smaller amount of isopropyl alcohol.

Annette Black

@AnnetteBlack

I found a 2007 study on effects of hand sanitizers on blood alcohol level in adults. The 12 subjects applied 4 mL of hand sanitizer for 30 seconds per application, 20 applications over a 30 min period (total exposure time 10 min).

Marvin McKinney

@MarvinMcKinney

The study was repeated with three brands of hand sanitizers containing 55%, 85%, and 95% ethanol. Their blood alcohol level was measured by gas chromatography 30 minutes after the last application.

Jacob Jones

@JacobJones

Their blood alcohol levels rose to 0.007 to 0.02 o/oo (parts per thousand), or 0.7 to 2.0 mg/L.

Eleanor Pena

@EleanorPena

In most states, the legal limit in blood alcohol to not be considered DUI is 500 to 1,000 mg/L. Therefore, this is way below a level considered to be intoxication.

Ralph Edwards

@RalphEdwards

Even factoring differences in body weight between children and adults into account, it would still not reach an intoxicating level in children.

Brooklyn Simmons

@BrooklynSimmons

An average healthy 7 year old boy weighs about 50 lb (23 kg). If we suppose the same amount of alcohol as in a 150 lb adult, that might amount to 3.1 to 6.0 mg/L in the child's body—still far below an intoxicating effect.

Jane Cooper

@JaneCooper

Twenty 30-second applications within half an hour is well in excess of almost anyone's use of a sanitizer.

Floyd Miles

@FloydMiles

So yes, the alcohol (ethanol) in hand sanitizers can be absorbed through the skin, but no, it would not cause intoxication.
