Hospital hand gels 'being drunk'
 
This can only happen in England surely? That visitors are stealing alcohol-based antiseptic cleaning fluids and drinking them. :confused:

Nothing new about that. The dossers in Glasgow have been drinking Brasso for years.

Anything with an alcohol base is fair game when you're desperate enough.

I've had my moments of alcohol based desperation but I've never needed to resort to Metal polish and Hand sanitisers.

I think the lowest I went was Buckfast Tonic wine or it's ertswhile US equivalent - Thunderbird (Blue label of course - I have standards).
