Aaron Kofsky, JD Vance’s financial policy adviser, called Vance “a Trump boot licker” and instructed users on how to transport drugs through TSA in the posts. “Coke then opiates is always my go-to,” he wrote.
Theres always options. Addiction means usually you will start considering riskier and riskier behaviors to get your drug. Even if the alcoholic has hand sanitizer, it'll be gone quickly and then what? Hobble to the corner store and hustle or steal. Depends on the person though what they consider risky of course.
If someone's consistently drinking hand sanitizer in this day and age then they are likely ignorant. Liquor is cheaper than hand sanitizer as well.
Also most of those gas station analogues of illicit drugs are for people on probation. They can use them and pass drug tests.
And you have drank hand sanitizer? My experience is that even as an alcoholic I would never drink it because the general consensus around my area is it would kill you or blind you.
So yes I'm very skeptical that anyone regularly drinks hand sanitizer.
Maybe in your area hand sanitizer is just vodka in a bottle though so who knows.
