PLEASE tell me that you have not nor have you heard of anyone getting drunk or high off hand sanitizer. Who or what do you think is to blame for the increased harmful use of household items and why? Is there a solution?

No I have never heard of this before. It is really sad to be honest that teenagers are so eager to get buzzed. I think it's no ones fault that they have normal house hold items in their home the teenagers are to blame because their the ones doing it. The solution I guess is to teach kids a lesson and show them how dangerous this could be for them and their bodies.

Wow people can be stupid. I don't know why anyone would drink hand sanitizer. This is just going to cause problems for the companies that make it and hurt the people that do this stupid stuff. The solution to this is simple. Let the stupid people do it and the smart people avoid contact with them and move on to bigger and better things.

I have heard of people getting drunk or high off hand sanitizer.I think the blame for the increased harmful use of household items is the sanitizer container.I think that because they shouldn't put how much alcohol is in it on the bottle.The solution could be that they should put it could kill you if drunken on the bottle.

Woah.. I can't say that I've ever heard of anyone using hand sanitizer to get a buzz. Obviously, its the kid's fault, seeing as they're the ones who are stupid enough to do this. If people are this dumb, they deserve to get alcohol poinsoning. The only solution would be to put video trackers on children and just give them a shock when you see them doing anything stupid, which obviously would never happen. Obviously, some people need to relearn what is and is not ok to eat.. which is sad.

I have never heard of anyone getting drunk or high off hand sanitizers. It is no one fault that they have increased harmful use of household items. Because they can't help that their items are harmful, but its the teen fault if they use for that reason. The solution is just to tell them what it can do to them, if they choose to keep doing it its teaching other people the effects.

No, I havn't heard of someone getting drunk nor getting high off of hand sanitizer. I think who ever started using the hand sanitizers to get high and drunk for increased harmful use of household items. Why, because if somebody didn't never did it then everybody else wouldn't do it. Yes there is a solution. I think every store should take out all hand sanitizers out of there store and dump out all the sanitizers out and throw the bottle away.

It's the teens fault that the increased use of household items because kids these days will do anything to get high. I can't think of a solution because the companies can't stop making hand sanitizer and air duster because that's stuff we need to use daily

I have never heard of this in my life. I can't even imagine doing something like this. It's probably YouTube's fault. I think that if anybody is able to get a high off of something, then only parents can buy it. I hope those idiots learn there lessons.

The reason kids do this is because their controlling parents wont let them try the legal stuff and they go out and rebel and do stuff that can kill you. Blaming this on the internet is just because they don’t have anything else to blame it on. Us kids use it to keep unnecessary germs off our body and now to get it well have to get it from the pharmacy. I think all teens should try the stupid illegal stuff that we have to wait till 18 or 21 to do just to realize that it’s not worth it. I cant believe they would sniff hand sanitizer to get high or drunk.

I have heard this in the news before about people getting drunk off of hand sanitizer. I think the people who do it are to blame. I don't think there really is a solution. You can't change every single product on the market just because someone wants to be stupid. They know the dangers of this and if they choose to proceed with these actions then that's on them.

I knew that you could get high off of household products. However, i did not know that you could get drunk off of hand sanitizers. I believe no matter what anyone does to try to prevent this, teens will always find a way around it. Just like the video said, teens will always find a way to get high.

I have heard about this and I think it's dumb. No matter what teens are gonna find a way to get high, no matter what people do. There's no way to prevent this, because it's always something they could do.

I have never heard of it. I think the kids are to blame for being stupid, they will do anything these days. I don't think there is a solution because kids can still get their hands on it. Kids get cigarettes and it is illegal.

I think i might have sort of heard something about this in class the other day. I think the person to blame is the people that start these stupid use of household items, because when they do it they want everyone else to do it. Take the people at these schools who start this stuff and just send them somewhere.

Shannon said...

I've heard of it and I think it's really retarded. I think that it is peer pressure that mostly makes teenagers to do this.

I've never heard of people drinking hand sanitizer because I know when I use it to clean my hands and go eat a sandwich it tastes yucky from my hand sanitizer. I know when its fragrance based I do sniff it but not crazily. I think kids putting these ideas out in the world for others, is stupid and they are to blame. I don't think there is a law.

I have never gotten drunk or high off hand sanitizer and I didn't even know you could. I have heard of people smelling it but I didn't think it even did anything. I think the kids are the ones to blame. There is a lot of household things and you could get intoxicated off of but that doesn't mean that they have to stop being sold. The solution is to make sure your child knows the dangers and make sure they aren't doing it.

I have heard of people getting high off of germ-x. However, I have never heard of people drinking it?? What are they thinking? That's just stupid. I believe stupid people are to blame for the wrong use of it. The only real way to get rid of people "trying" to get high off of extremely dangerous things is to legalize. It might not be what people want to hear, but it would work. -Josh Cutchins

I can honestly say I have never used hand sanitizer too get high. I blame only the ones who are doing it! You can't expect parents to empty their houses just because they have items that can get someone high, any even if they do that all they got to do is go to the store and buy some.

Mary Alice said...

I've definitely never done this or heard of drinking it to get drunk. I've heard of people playing like their getting high off of it but I've never heard of people actually doing it. I think that it is completely stupid. Their are plenty of other things that you can "get high" from. For example you can get high off of life and your friends and just have a "natural high."

I have never heard of that before. The person to blame are the kids. Most people who do that kind of stuff just to be cool.

I have heard about this and I think that teens these days are getting stupider and stupider. I think that the internet is to blame for this stupid trend, because along the years people have started to do the most ridiculous stuff like "the cinnamon challenge". There really is no solution to this because without germ x people will spread more germs because they don't even wash their hands with soap now so without hand sanitizer, the world will have more germs.

Jameela said...

That is so dang gross . It smells so terrible . If it kills germs on your hands , just imagen what it would kill in your body . Some kids do the wierdest stuff just to fit in .

Jamie said...

This is crazy. I have not heard of teens drinking germ-x to get drunk. I blame to teens who is drinking the germ-x. I don't have a clue about getting a solution.

aaron said...

Ive heard about it. Ive never done it. They shouldn't have put alcohol in it.

Dr. Watson said...

OMG, these teens are retard, no way around it. The teens, who are dumb enough to do this, are to blame for the increased harmful use of household items. It might be a little bit because of poor parenting skills but if the teen doesn’t have common since not to do something that can damage their brain more, then it’s there fault…. There is really no solution, well if we convince many teenagers to use common since.
