I find this disturbing.
Isopropyl alcohol, something meant for cuts, scrapes, and cleaning, is now being flavored and sweetened.
Yes, flavored. With additives like glycerin to make it smoother...sweeter.
And while the label clearly states it’s not intended for consumption, we also know that people in late-stage alcohol use will sometimes turn to products like this.
That’s the part that’s hard to ignore.
Because glycerin doesn’t help clean a wound. It doesn’t improve its purpose as an antiseptic.
But it does make it taste smoother.
And that raises a bigger question — who is this really for?
At some point, we have to acknowledge that making harsh substances easier to consume has consequences.
Not everything needs to be flavored. Not everything needs to be marketed in a way that causes more harm but bigger sales.
