There is no difference between the ethanol in hand sanitizer and the ethanol in vodka. Except that hand sanitizer is mostly pure ethanol, and it has some added chemicals to make it thicker and poisonous to drink.

If it wasn’t for the way the government taxes alcohol, drinkable alcohol would be like $30 a gallon. That’s enough to make like 800 beers.
