Hand sanitizer is ~120 proof alcohol. (Not a recommendation to drink it, since it's usually spiked with bad-tasting additives to keep people from doing just that. Some commercial hand sanitizers swap out ethanol for isopropyl alcohol, i.e. rubbing alcohol, which is more toxic when ingested.)
Weird, all the sanitizers I've seen have a big ass label that says "non-alcohol" on them, both sprayed and gel-like
Not all sanitizers are alcohol based. Some are chlorine based and probably other kinds too. The cheap ones during covid that smelled like shit vodka were definitely ethanol based though.
Yeah the cheap hand sanitizer I have smells like tequila.
At least that's what I tell people at work.
During the covid quarantine many alcoholic beverage companies in my country temporarily switched production lines to hand sanitizer using some of the same raw materials. The result were hand sanitizers and alcohol that had the weirdest smells.
