My grandson's preschool teacher told me it is illegal for them to have it around with children under a certain age. That said, my grandson has known how to use it since he was about 1.5, but we are always very careful he only gets a small dab and it stays away from his mouth. If that woman smelled it on her kid's breath, the kid must've been drinking it. Also, it is isopropyl alcohol which you cannot get drunk on.

It's a good idea, Mickey, to post your source when able...an excerpt or link would be good.
