Yes, but what kind of alcohol? Grain alcohol is impractical because of the expense, isopropyl alcohol is likely to sell out quickly as well.
The only other option available to the public that comes to mind is denatured alcohol and it's unclear whether there any risks related to skin absorption of the denaturing agents. Anybody know?
- JohnJamesRambo 7y agoOne common denaturant is methanol which is probably not best to absorb on your skin. It seems doubtful that all alcohol would become scarce and also all Everclear from the liquor store, which isn’t really that expensive in bulk (1.75L of 95% EtOH for ~$35). Certainly cheaper than $160 hand sanitizer.
- ac29 7y agoFor disinfecting surfaces at home, you certainly could use denatured alcohol, but diluted bleach is just as good and is dirt cheap. For cleaning hands, soap and water is more effective than alcohol based sanitizers and also very inexpensive.
