So it’s OK to drink “food-grade ethanol”, but it’s not OK to put it on our skin?
I’m thinking that a face mask soaked in Ethanol would be a good way to go into the grocery store.
How dare they use food for anything other than crap fuel.
Everclear 190. Aloe Vera gel. Middle finger to the FDA.
Better not cut into my supply of Everclear.
I am all out of giving a shoot about ethanol
The Democrat thugs who run the EPA will be doing anything possible to heighten the economic destruction for political reasons.
Ethanol has been subsidized long enough. I want the feds to end the subsidies for ethanol and let it succeed or fail on its own merits.
I made a nice batch of hand sanitizer last weekend.
hand sanitizer dries out the skin leaces it dry cracked and chapped. soap and water are better to use and cheaper.
Since we’re pumping max gas or oil. Why do we need ethanol now? Let’s grow edible food instead. Probably better for car motors too if we stopped
Sorry i no longer have a direct link - from my files.

“the FDA doesn’t want the alcohol used for a product to be applied to the skin.”
So you can pour as much as you want into your stomach but it’s illegal to pour it on your hands. Do I have that right?
Madness.
