Where to buy ingredients for hand sanitizer?

To make hand sanitizer yourself, you only need two basic ingredients; isopropyl alcohol and a thickener. The best thickener would be an alcohol based hair gel, because it will not curdle and will mix consistently. Mix the alcohol and hair gel together and try to get an alcohol content of about 60%, and you'll have hand sanitizer. So you can get the ingredients from any store that sells isopropyl alcohol and hair gel.

Can you drink hand sanitizer?

AnswerThe answer is an unequivocal NO. The alcohol used in these products is either ethyl or isopropyl alcohol. While ethyl alcohol is what is in your booze, the purity, concentrations, and other ingredients in hand sanitizer makes wholly unsuitable for consumption. isopropyl alcohol is unsafe for ingestion at any concentration, and will cause a wretched death faster than ethyl alcohol could ever hope to...if ethyl alcohol was sentient.If you were foolish or desperate enough to drink it, you would, at best, get nauseous and vomit or at worst sink into a coma and suffer irreversible brain damage.

Unfortunately, the Sanitizer was expired and mutated into Tequila. Both subjects are now in 12-step programs of AA.

Technically, since it's a hand sanitizer and sanitizer means "to make sanitary, as by cleaning or disinfecting" then obviously it's the dirt get cleaned and not the sanitizer get dirty.

Why is inhaling or sniffing hand sanitizer dangerous?

Simply sniffing hand sanitizer is not dangerous. If it was, it would not come with nice scents that encouraged you to smell it. However, if you are referring to intentional abuse or huffing, they are high in alcohol content (not the kind people drink recreationally). The fumes from the alcohol misplace oxygen, and restricts how much oxygen you are breathing in. It is basically like suffocating yourself.
