    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.

      You know first hand of a scenario like that? Were they on psychiatric hold or something? Why would a hospital not treat DTs?

      Edit: is there hand sanitizer that isnt dangerous to drink? That might be where I’m getting hung up.
