Does Hand Sanitizer Create Superbugs?



We've read for years about how overprescribing antibiotics and the use of anti-microbial soaps and cleaners are killing just enough germs to open the door for the strongest and most dangerous to take over, giving us antibiotic-resistant superbugs. But what about alcohol? We go through alcohol-based hand sanitizer like water these days, so will it have the same effect? SciShow explains how alcohol works on germs, but if you substitute "liquor" in your head, it sounds like a plausible explanation for hangovers as well. -via Geeks Are Sexy
