While used in the making of sanitiser gel and other products, ethyl alcohol is not supposed to be eaten. The TFDA says there are different grades of alcohol, such as food-grade alcohol, which can be used, in tiny amounts, for cooking.

Unfortunately Thai people are like this in every sense. It is not about covid.

The FDA should tell them that there's a difference between hand sanitizer and "food-grade alcohol" i.e. vodka. In Europe we learn such things already in primary school.

I must have been absent from primary school the day they discussed the difference between ethyl alcohol and vodka

Waiting for the warning labels to be placed on the sides of the bottles just like the warning on the side of a Hot cup of Coffee.

This report is funny because it seems so ridiculous yet, at the same time, it is sad.  It shows how desperate people have become.

but it will get the noodle's p*ssed .. 

I always stay away from places with drunken noodles on the menu as they sound like trouble ..

People are afraid of Covid because it can be fatal. In the meanwhile they do dumb shit that also can harm. 

Btw, what special kind of person does this? You don't need to go to school to get knowledge about this. It's common sense...

There's also something that's called 'cooking'. It comes in very handy when you want to kill bacteria, germs etc. And it makes the food also more delicious.

Alcoholic beverages, including wodka and gin contain ethyl alcohol.
Methyl alcohol is more dangerous.

So, what's the difference between ethyl alcohol and tomato sauce laced with Lao Khow.

Not that I use it. Just saying.

[BraveNewFahrenheit]

Thais are still going around and spraying down everything with some kind of cleaner or solvent....never mind that nearly a year ago it was proven that you had a 1/10000 chance of getting covid from a surface transmission. Madness.

[BuffaloWhisperer]

If ethyl alcohol is really not good for you, why is it still being sold between 2-5pm?

Lao Khow goes into everything up here by the Mekong.

I know someone who dowses his dried mushrooms with Lao Khow. Never had a day's illness; well since he was little.
