LOS ANGELES (AP) – Teenagers are showing up in Los Angeles emergency rooms after drinking inexpensive liquid hand sanitizers to get drunk.

Cheap and easily accessible hand sanitizers contain 62 percent ethyl alcohol.

I love how 6 kids show up in an emergency room in one general area, and the news outlets declare it a trend.

Pretty pathetic isn't it?

Who was the politicians wife that drank rubbing alcohol to get drunk again?

That's what this reminds me of.

Besides, how uncool is it to go through the trouble to get wasted by the same chemicals that convicted felons use?

I mean really?!!

What happened to kids drinking good old fashioned beer?
(not that I condone it but its better than this!)
Kids now put it in tampons to insert inside themselves...pour liquor into their eyes (???) and now this. Wow.

No they don't. A FEW cases were heard of.

Every time you guys hear of a teenager doing something stupid don't act like its a damn epidemic and EVERY SINGLE kid/teen is doing whatever.

This is an article out of LA, ONE TOWN.

THANK YOU.
It the Nancy Grace phenomenon. If something happens in one place, it's happening everywhere and you aren't safe anywhere, whatever it is will find you, consume you and kidnap your children and it WILL happen. DUN DUN DUN....

News outlets are stupid. They'll sensationalize anything for ratings/dollars.
