Alcohol extraction from hand sanitizers Does it work?
The blockades in Zimbabwe and South Africa are beginning to affect citizens. People are now seriously considering extracting alcohol from hand sanitizers. This is especially true in South Africa, where beer sales of all kinds and forms have been banned. Fortunately for Zimbabweans, the beer ban was lifted after 24 hours.
iHarare couldn’t help noticing that the growing urban legend through Google searches and Whatsapp memes that support the theory that safe alcohol can be distilled or extracted from hand sanitizers is now gaining ground.
But it is possible?
Short answer Yes and No. Theoretically, in a chemical laboratory, a competent chemist with the proper equipment can surely distill alcohol. Thus, it is not suitable for consumption at all. In a home setting, it is definitely a health bomb. DON’T DO IT It’s literally begging to get sick, go blind, and possibly die.
After reading a bit, we consulted a couple of renowned experts, most of whom spoke to us on condition of anonymity and said that if the thirst for alcohol hit so hard, it would be better to risk fermenting fruits or grains rather than getting involved in the reckless one who extracts alcohol from the disinfectant.
One commented by the name of Simba, “Most hand sanitizers contain denaturing, manufacturers add things specifically to make them toxic and unpleasant, how sure are you that you didn’t get any of the toxic products in what you extracted? “
He continued, “The lure of rapid drunkenness can lead to life-threatening effects such as hypothermia, seizures, irregular heartbeat, cardiac arrest, hypotension, nausea and vomiting, acute liver damage, hypoglycemia, and coma. “
Another expertJonathan said: “I am authoritative in my answer to this, as I have really tried it … It all depends on the type of hand sanitizer, and if it contains a substance like propylene glycol, it is essentially a deadly poison. The only hand sanitizer that is not extremely dangerous to drink is the variety that is 100% pure ethyl alcohol spray. However, it would not at all. It’s a nasty intoxication, and that hangover is a beast. “
