    Where to buy Ethyl Alchol? (not for drinking)

    Hi,

    I have been told I need ethyl alcohol (who doesn't?) to dissolve a medicine for application to the skin. I tried using vodka but it left me smelling like booze.

    Are there any pharmacies or other stores in HK that might carry it? I am in the Sha Tin area. Watsons and Mannings don't carry it.

    Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

    Any small more traditional pharmacy should have it. Don't you see those red "+" signs when you walk down the street? Just walk in and ask for alcohol. Make sure it's not rubbing alcohol. It should be about $10-$15, if I recall.
