You know what else does that? Massive amounts of loperimide. It also causes heart problems and can kill you, but you get a minor buzz from it if you eat 100 of them.
I will never understand someone who clearly already has a drug dealer choosing to do dirtier versions of their drugs. Why not drop the cocaine and stick to those dick pills they sell at the gas stations at that point?
While I’m at it, I don’t understand coke heads either. What an awful drug to try and enjoy.

Then you don’t fully understand the bottoms of addiction and the unreliability of drug dealers. People will go through extreme efforts to avoid withdrawal.
They sell my drug in all the gas stations, advertise it on TV, billboards and radio, just about every restaurant serves it.
And yet, there are still alcoholics that will drink sanitizer if that’s all they can get and the shakes and sweats have started. I never drank sanitizer, but that doesn’t mean much, knowing what I did do when I still drank.
Theres always options. Addiction means usually you will start considering riskier and riskier behaviors to get your drug. Even if the alcoholic has hand sanitizer, it’ll be gone quickly and then what? Hobble to the corner store and hustle or steal. Depends on the person though what they consider risky of course.
If someone’s consistently drinking hand sanitizer in this day and age then they are likely ignorant. Liquor is cheaper than hand sanitizer as well.
Also most of those gas station analogues of illicit drugs are for people on probation. They can use them and pass drug tests.

Too right they will.

I think most alcoholics would rather steal a tall boy or two than drink hand sanitizer.
‘Would rather’ implies options.

Please, explain in 3 paragraphs your lack of direct experience with addiction.
Because theres only one type of addict in the world right?
I’m open to be proven wrong, is there cases of alcoholics poisoning themselves with hand sanitizer still?
It’s common enough you’re not going to find news stories about it unless there’s some special circumstance to make it newsworthy.
It is the reason the NIH reduces the amount of alcohol in the ER sanitizer dispensers.
I also know people have emptied a whole hospital floor’s sanitizers in pursuit of relief from the DTs.
I did say choosing, as it appears this was. But yes desperate addicts will take anything.
A box of imodium isnt all that dissimilar to what was mentioned in this post.
