Tito's Vodka has spent the last 24 hours explaining it can't be used as hand sanitizer replacement



Dom ✔@DomDiFurio

Tito's Vodka has spent the last 24 hours explaining to people that it *cannot* be used as a replacement for hand sanitizer.

God bless Texas.

I think the 70% is even cheaper.

Your 75% ethanol would probably work, unless you plan to dilute it with lots of aloe vera gel.

I'm pretty sure you're joking, but I've seen quite a few posts recommending starting with 80 proof (40% ABV) vodka, then diluting down with gel or glycerol.

They're also out of commercial hand sanitizer, I take it?

Somone posted this morning that they bought their rubbing alcohol from Amazon.

I think this might be more appropriate since it is 60%:

Isopropyl kills germs but not sure what the percentage is.
