"A Connecticut woman is accused of driving under the influence ... of hand sanitizer. The charge, however, is driving drunk, CBS Connecticut reports.

According to The Middletown Press, police say 36-year-old Jennifer Wilcox drank half a bottle of hand sanitizer and had a blood alcohol level of .17 before almost crashing into another vehicle on Oct. 5.

Wilcox told WTNH-TV that she drank the hand sanitizer of her own free will.

"I just saw it there so I drank it," Wilcox told the station.

WTNH reports that Wilcox drank the equivalent of 32 shots of vodka."* Cenk Uygur and Sam Schacher (Host of PopTrigger) break it down, and talk about some other "innovative" ways people get drunk.
