"KILLED BY HAND GEL Seven die after drinking hand sanitiser when they ran out of booze at party in Russia Will Stewart 21 Nov 2020, 14:09Updated: 21 Nov 2020, 14:14
SEVEN people have died after drinking hand sanitiser after running out of booze at a party in Russia, reports say.
Two of the boozers reportedly remain in a coma after knocking back the chemical substance in Tomtor in the east of the country.
A total of of nine people drank the antiseptic wash widely used to clean hands during the coronavirus pandemic.
The first three victims were a 41-year-old woman and two men aged 27 and 59 while three more men died yesterday as well as one today.
After the first three died, six others were flown by a medical evacuation aircraft to regional capital Yakutsk.
In a statement, the federal public health watchdog said: “Nine cases of poisoning with sanitiser have been registered, including seven that were fatal .”
The regional state prosecutor said: “The poisoning took place as a result of drinking sanitiser.”
According to reports, the party goers drank the sanitiser, which was 69 per cent methanol, when they ran out of alcohol.
A criminal case has been opened, meanwhile local health officials have warned locals not to drink the antiseptic.
This comes after three people died and one person was left blind, after guzzling hand sanitiser containing methanol, New Mexico health bosses said in June.
Three others are in a critical condition as a result of the incident which officials said was related to alcoholism.
"All seven people are believed to have drunk hand sanitizer containing methanol," said health officials.

That's just so stupid... and so sad.

It's insane that we still denature alcohol with anything except non-toxic bittering agents. So many easily avoidable deaths and injuries.

It's not denatured, it's 69% methanol. It's insane people are drinking hand sanitizing without even looking at the ingredients.

man you have to be pretty dumb to slam back methanol hand sanitizer
This is probably why they consider the liquor store an essential service here, I could totally see some morons doing this where I live.

There's a Russian Reversal joke somewhere in here, but I can't quite pin it...

Oh I missed that, I know methanol is often used to denature ethanol...using just methanol as hand sanitizer is even worse.
Let me amend that, its insane we use anything but ethanol denatured with bittering agents as hand sanitzer.

They couldn't vote Putin out if they wanted to, but you are right he would probably still win a fair election...just shows how fucking stupid and controllable people are. Propaganda has become a science of its own.

I have heard of bathsalts, potpourri, incense, whip cream chargers, and video tape head cleaner not being used for it's intended purpose.
And, I think there would be a market for some not-denatured alcohol. Ingredients: Ethyl alcohol. Not for drinking.
This removes kool aid stains and hardwater from cups and disinfects them. A hand sanitizer, oven cleaner, or degreaser that is food safe. Lantern fuel.
Comes in fruity or candy-like flavors. Don't taste it.
