Tried it once.
1. It smells horribly.
2. Had the worst hangover ever.
3. It does get you drunk way faster than usual alcohol. You can literally feel getting drunk.
4. It burns your stomach. You can feel you stomach upset even the next day.

There was a guy who came to my school to give us a speech about the dangers of addiction. He was a former alcoholic and he said that when bars or liquor stores wouldn’t serve him he would go to a pharmacy and buy rubbing alcohol to drink.

He said that he would immediatley throw it up and it would burn like nothing else, but he kept doing it. He had a horribly scratchy voice that still gives me chills.

I started drinking alcohol since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting alcohol addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Alcohol addiction actually destroyed my life. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

What I'm getting from this is acetone is a cheap alternative to ethanol as you only need 1/3 and you get to stay drunk longer.

What I got from this video is that if you're depressed just pee it out

One of my co workers died by drinking rubbing alcohol. He was an alcoholic trying to kick his bad habit and his family removed all the alcohol from the house. They found him unresponsive in the morning. R.I.P. Brad.

I remember as a child my uncle used to buy bottles of rubbing alcohol and drink them like water. I’m a recovering alcoholic now and I’m thankful I never got to that point ever.

"JC" is a thirty year old man, presenting to the emergency room with hyperisopropylemia. Hyper meaning high, isopropyl being rubbing alcohol, and emia meaning presence in blood. High isopropyl alcohol presence in blood.

I've never wanted to drink it, but I've always wanted to know why I couldn't! Thank you for such a great "to the point" video.

In Poland, we have denatured alcohol sold in stores (aka _dykta_, it's used as a solvent, fuel etc.). It is blue and smells pretty strong, since it's contaminated 92% alcohol. It is not considered an alcoholic beverage and it's cheaper than high proof alcohol. Because of that it is a very popular product among homeless alcoholics. They filter it out through bread to remove the color and drink it. This product used to contain actual toxic substances like methanol, but because people actually drank it, most companies stopped adding those, to "minimize" the risk of deadly poisoning among alcoholics. But still, by the year 2022, the people get poisoned on ocassion.
Correction: it is more like bluish-purple colour

I drank a shot of 91% rubbing alcohol because I took Ambien (it makes you do stupid stuff). No hangover, but every exhalation was like breathing nail polish remover (acetone) ALL DAY!! It was horrendous.

I have a large stockpile of booze, and an even larger stockpile of industrial solvents because I do metalwork. The chances of me drinking the solvents was zero, but after I watching this video I feel validated. Thank you for explaining why drinking my bottles of acetone and biofuel was a bad idea.

I’ve drank hand sanitizer before with no issues. Added a few salt packets to it & strained out the gel layer it formed on top and although bitter, it got me wasted. Needless to say I never did it again.

Note, the "ethanol with other stuff added" is still something you can buy. In the US, at least, it is typically sold as "denatured alcohol". In other places it goes by different names, such as "methylated spirits". There are lots of different formulations, and in many cases methanol is no longer added, but just various other compounds to make it extremely bad tasting, bad smelling, induce vomiting, etc, instead (though there are still some variations that contain methanol too).

So they made it dangerous to drink because they wanted more money?

[tvspy]

Never wanted to drink either but this video got me interested in the psychoactive effects of acetone. Not a common drug of choice.

Im 15 and the thought randomly hit me. Never drank any alcohol before (and dont intend to) but i just randomly thought of it and this video was super informative and helpful. Thank you.

My dad was an extreme alcoholic. He drank this and hand sanitizer. He passed months later from liver failure.

There is Manny typen of rubbing alcohol here in Sweden that can be drunk since it’s 85% ethanol with a minuscule amount of isopropyl alcohol as a denaturing agent.
Tastes bad, but when I was broke as a homeless alcoholic it was easy to enter bathrooms in hospitals to get a bottle to drink so I wouldn’t get delirious from the withdrawals.
