The Los Angeles Times reported some of the teenagers used salt to separate the alcohol from the sanitizer using instructions found online. If a liquid hand sanitizer contains 62 percent ethyl alcohol, that means a "drink" can be as high as 120 proof, whereas a shot of hard liquor such as whiskey or vodka is typically 80 proof.

Hangover headache? 10 tips to reduce your risk

(Credit: Hangover Heaven)(CBS News) Have you ever had a hangover? You're not alone. According to Dr. Noah Rosen, director of the Headache Center at the North Shore-LIJ Health System's Cushing Neuroscience Institute, in Great Neck, N.Y., more than 70 percent of people will have a hangover in their lives. But according to Rosen, it's still not clear whether frequent boozers are more or less likely to be hungover - so anyone is at risk.
Hangovers are most likely a process that involves how the body metabolizes alcohol, drinking's effects on blood flow to the brain and the interaction of neurotransmitters like histamine, serotonin and prostaglandin. But the effects of a hangover can reach beyond a headache, causing tremors, sweating, increased pulse and blood pressure, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, thirst, light sensitivity, fatigue, depression and anxiety.
While partygoers in Las Vegas can reportedly cure their hangover in 45 minutes with the help of a recently rolled out "Hangover Heaven" bus (pictured), the rest of us can be in for an uncomfortable recovery the day after drinking.
