Default Can't sell 190 proof in FL

So I googled this statement, not knowing if it was fact or not, and many google quotes came back saying that 190 proof spirit sales in a bunch of states is illegal. However, I did buy mine in one of the states which was quoted as being illegal, so I am not so certain that either laws haven't changed, or that the information is incorrect.

Next time you are out to a major liquor store, I would ask for a factual up to date answer.

Walmart and Target both have hand sanitizer, usually. Last time I went to Walmart a few days ago they had a bunch of bottles on a display near the beauty aisles.

Yes, it has to be 60% or higher in order to be effective. Ethyl alcohol has another more common name: grain alcohol. That's the stuff in Everclear 190 and all other booze. It is the type of alcohol most commonly used in sanitizers, which is why so many people keep saying if they can't find sanitizer to buy grain alcohol from the liquor store and dilute it with aloe vera.

You do not just have to use alcohol or bleach. Any cleaner such as 409, lestoil, etc that kills bacteria can be used. I cut up paper towels and soak them. Then put them into a zip lock and use as needed. Not hard to do.

I haven’t seen hand sanitizer for sale for two months. I was lucky enough to find a couple liters of 91% rubbing alcohol (in a two-pack). I keep some in a spray bottle in my car. I spray the shopping cart handles before touching them. I spray my hands and rub them together. I spray a paper towel when I need to grab a door handle or a gas pump handle. I keep the sprayer in my shopping cart while shopping. That’s at least as good as hand sanitizer, though I can’t carry it in my purse. That’s okay. I don’t carry a purse, anyway.

Walgreens has a large size of it’s own brand of hand sanitizer. I bought it yesterday at the Burnsed store.

CVS at corner of Hwy 466 and Hwy 301 yesterday, their center isle had full displays of house brand hand sanitizer. Limit 1. They had a lot of it. Also sell individual face masks for $1.99 on request at front checkout, limit 1. Also had TP. Eureka!
