I live in Portugal and some producers are being told to make disinfectant out of drinking alcohol.
I assume the same is being done with mask production, or will be done. The same is happening with alcohol in other European countries, I don't know about the US.
- chrisco255 7y agoYes, some breweries and distilleries are making sanitizer.
- maxerickson 7y agoThere's places doing it, but not by mandate. With the amount of ethanol produced for fuel in the US, it's the other ingredients and packaging that would be the capacity limit.
- bluGill 7y agoWith the Russia - Saudi Arriba oil war going on ethanol producers are caught in the crossfire and have no problem supplying all the ethanol sanitizer users could want. (I don't think they are happy about it considering, but they are eager to corner this new market even if it only lasts for a few weeks)
- m4rtink 7y agoCan confirm - here in Czech Republic the government even released illegaly produced alcohol they have confiscated in the past few months for companies to make sanitizers. And not only alcohol related companies are making sanitizer now, even chemical oriented high schools and university faculties. Even a fuel distribution company reportedly reprurposed one of their huge tanks for large scale sanitizer production.
