WILL I DIE IF I DOWN THIS BOTTLE OF PURELL?


I think what’s more disturbing than me coming up with the question is that I’m not the first person to ask it. Just look at all the search results master google puked out.
QUIT STALLING I have other blogs to read!!!

A couple of the sites said, “NAH,” you'd be uber-wasted, but fine. However the web sources seemed suspicious. So I dug a bit deeper and this what I got…

If you’re a kid – YES, you will die-ish. Docs said the child would most likely bite it from alcohol poisoning.

AS FAR AS ADULTS GO, that’s where the gray area occurs. You might live, but I’d doubt you want to. Here’s why…

- Most sanitizers contain a narcotic (I.e. hydrocodone or codeine) which could slow your respiration down to dangerous levels.

- You'd end up with liver toxicity/damage from the excess of Dextromethorphan.

- And you'd probably have hallucinations (the sucky kind)

  1. When I was a kid I thought that alcoholic beverages contained rubbing alcohol. Not completely related to this or anything, I was just reminded of it (strangely) while reading this.

  7. If I remember right, there is an incredibly sad episode of Intervention where the dude is hospitalized and drinks the hand sanitizer to try to get drunk.

    So no, you won't die. You will be sent to rehab and referenced on the internet forever.

    My random knowledge does recall that a Central American woman downed some straight rubbing alcohol. Before performing her own C-section. She's still okay. Rubbing alcohol has to be way worse than Purell. Right?

  8. NAH! Yes, I'm old, but I'm lucky enough to have been brought up when there were now, what are considered illegal substances included in everyday, over the counter medication... you also didn't have to be 18 to buy glue. that's right! If you drink a bottle of Purell, you won't die, but you will have nice sudsy and squeaky clean colon...

  9. I've probably thought this as well. I'm not stupid enough to worry about downing the entire bottle, I just wondered what would happen if I accidentally licked my freshly sanitized hands.

    If you smell your hands after sanitizing them with Purell, it'll sting your nostrils
