Teens Getting Drunk Off Hand Sanitizerby Anna Gorman in Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Six teenagers have shown up in two Los Angeles emergency rooms in the last few months with alcohol poisoning after drinking hand sanitizer, worrying public health officials who say the cases could signal a dangerous trend.
Some of the teenagers used salt to separate the alcohol from the sanitizer, making a potent drink that is similar to a shot of hard liquor.
"All it takes is just a few swallows and you have a drunk teenager," said Cyrus Rangan, director of the toxicology bureau for Los Angeles County's public health department and a medical toxicology consultant for Children's Hospital Los Angeles. "There is no question that it is dangerous."
Your Love by The Outfield
Welcome back to our series Rembert Explains the '80s. Every so often, we'll e-mail 25-year-old Rembert Browne a video from the 1980s that he hasn't seen. Rembert will write down his thoughts as he's watching it, then we'll post those thoughts here. This week's installment was selected by Grantland Editor-in-Chief Bill Simmons: "Your Love" by The Outfield. If you have an idea for a future episode of Rembert Explains the '80s, e-mail us at hollywood@grantland.com.
Rembert's note: Even though I've heard this marvelous song 70 million times, because I went to college ... with all the white people ... I have never even considered watching this video. This could be amazing or horrible. Can't imagine an in-between.

Fantastic burger. The atmosphere probably helped. They were playing Japanese death metal from a band called
"Sex Machineguns"
