Yes. Alcohol poisoning can come from any product that contains alcohol, not just traditional alcoholic beverages. Rubbing alcohol, mouthwash, hand sanitizer, and certain cleaning products all contain forms of alcohol that can be toxic if swallowed. This is especially important to keep in mind when it comes to children, who may not know the difference between a drink and a household product. If someone has swallowed a non-beverage alcohol product, call the Missouri Poison Center or 911 right away.
