Alcoholic woman admits: ‘I can’t stop drinking hand sanitiser’
AN ALCOHOLIC has revealed how she drinks hand sanitiser in a desperate attempt to get her daily fix.
The American woman, known as Kristine, said she has been battling her addiction for eight years and was struggling to overcome it.
Not even a drink driving charge and near death experience has stopped her from drinking up to 230mls of hand sanitiser every day.
Her devastated mother has told US TV show Dr Phil her daughter will die unless she stops drinking the stuff.
The 42-year-old Kirstine told the show her life is out of control.
“I’ve been drinking hand sanitiser for about two years. I found out about drinking it in rehab,” she told the celebrity TV host.
“So I have a bottle, and I’ll fill this up with my eight ounce bottle (230mls). I’ll open it and just have a shot.
“A couple of hours later — the rest. It tastes like a shot of very strong alcohol. Hand sanitiser is about 140 proof.”
Kristine knows her behaviour is destroying her family and despite two broken marriages is still drinking.
“It tastes like a shot of very strong alcohol,” she said, before adding it’s disgusting and weird to hear herself say that she drinks it.
“As soon as I take a shot of it, I feel like I can function.”
