A new way to get drunk!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070131/hl_nm/handgels_dc_1

At least two people have become intoxicated by drinking hand-sanitizing gels, a potentially deadly habit, doctors reported on Wednesday.

A prison inmate and a hospitalized alcoholic both were treated for poisoning from the gels, which contain alcohol -- but not the same kind as found in beverages.
...
The Maryland Poison Center was called about a 49-year-old, usually calm prison inmate who was described as being 'red-eyed,' 'loony,' 'combative,' and 'intoxicated, lecturing everyone about life'," Dr. Suzanne Doyon of the Maryland Poison Center and Dr. Christopher Welsh of the University of Maryland School of Medicine wrote in one letter.

"Other inmates and staff reported seeing this prisoner drinking from a gallon container of Purell hand sanitizer over the course of the evening. "

 

That's a whole new type of suds.

 

"On the positive side, we've never seen a cleaner colon," said Sgt. Biff Buttcrack, who handles strip searches.

 

Don't drop drink the soap!

 

When I saw this title, my first thought was, "The old way is perfect and doesn't need to be replaced." Of course, now I see that these fine gentlemen didn't have access to the old way. I hope they said a toast first.

 

I drank that stuff before. It was called a Zima.


Thank you. Thank you. Good night.

 

I accidently tasted that shit last year after I put some on and thoughtlessly bit a finger nail or something. How someone could willingly down quantities is beyond me...

 

Hey, it's just good clean fun.

 

Darwinism at work.

 

Wasn't there a wife convicted of manslaughter last year after she gave her husband a Cuervo enema and he died of alcohol poisoning or something?

 

What cracks me up about this story is that, judging from the way it reads, no one bothered to take the sanitizer away from the inmate.
