don't really want to sound like a nerd here......but "Proof" in alcohol is actually double that of the alcohol content. For example, 80 proof alcohol is actually 40% alcohol....so....the current recommendations for alcohol content in hand sanitizers is 60% minimum....so that would be 120 proof. Oh my. this is additional info after a quick check...found a reference that said you need to us at least 180 proof drinking alcohol to make hand sanitizer....and I also found, most liquors don't meet this requirement...The highest possible is 192 proof as the distilling process won't get any higher. I never drank "Everclear" vodka but I heard about it….and that makes the cut.
