I kid you not!
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he 49-year-old Maryland inmate seemed seriously sick after he drank from a gallon-container of hand sanitizer. Described as "loony," "red-eyed" and "combative," officials whisked him to a nearby Baltimore hospital for treatment.
But they quickly discovered he wasn't ill -- just very, very drunk on Purell.
The October incident, detailed Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine as one of the first documented cases of its kind, has raised questions about the potential abuse of alcohol-based hand sanitizers by teenagers and other at-risk groups.

Warning: Don't drink the hand sanitizer

I had an inmate eat tobacco once. I asked him why he'd do something so stupid and he said it was so that he'd get sent to the hospital for a couple days. Then he'd get taken care of (his version of TLC) and all his meals in bed, but mostly for the change of scenery.

Boy, it's a good thing you said something! I was just about to up-end my bottle!
