Tito's Vodka is warning customers that it can't be used in homemade hand sanitizer formulas because it isn't strong enough.

The US is facing a Purell hand sanitizer shortage as demand for the disinfectant soared 1,400 percent amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The shortage has led people to make their own homemade versions consisting of vodka, aloe gel and essential oils to keep the fast-spreading virus at bay.

However, Tito's Vodka says its brand is not strong enough to be effective in killing germs.

Dont chew gum or lie in Singapore]]

Singapore is working ‘round the clock’ to find coronavirus cases. Lying about where you’ve been can result in 6 months of jail or a fine of up to $10,000.

Get your blood alcohol up around 0.6. No more infection with CV:)

I’ve got a bottle of 10 year old Speyburn single malt scotch that’s 86 proof.

Hand sanitizer should be about 70-85% alcohol.

I read somewhere that going to high (90%+) makes it actually less effective, as it needs water in it to prevent it from evaporating too quickly off your hands for it to kill all the bugs.

[Sirius Lee]

I only use Pappy Van Winkle 23 for my hand sanitizing needs.

[RummyChick]

well crap...i bought three bottles of 91. guess I will have to take it back and get the other

[RummyChick]

Blasphemy ;-)

You probably know that your 86 proof Scotch is only 43% alcohol but others might not.

100 proof = 50% alcohol

To get the min effective 60% drinkable alcohol would require 120 proof liquor.

[EvilCapitalist]

Bacardi 151 would do the trick.

[for-q-clinton]

40 proof is 80%.

[for-q-clinton]

Oh wait I got that wrong. 100 proof is 50%...I think.

either way 40% is not 40 proof.
