Thread: i have to be 18 to buy heet?!?

Started 2 months ago by junits15
UGH, so i went into walmart today hoping to buy some heet for my alcohol stove, well it all went well until i got to the register ( self checkout) i scaned and and it said "waiting for aproval". then this big hairy dude came over and told me i had to be 18. my thought is WHY? Tell me what you think, or what else works as a fuel (other than denatured alcohol)

If he's in the US, I think booze is an over-21 product.

None of these count as "booze", but they may well be restricted as "flammables"? L

cause it's fire related also you can get high off of it, like you can't buy most glues or epoxies, either

You probably can't buy it because they're afraid you'll get high, kill someone, and blame them, or die from drinking it. Because you know, and Adult can't possibly sniff or drink it.

The [<a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-paint -an-amazing-space-scene/">www.instructables.com/id /How-to-paint-an-amazing-space-scene/</a> design] called for wet paint, so I figured I'd run (drive) to Home Depot to buy more before it dried.

ya I've always known about the paint thing, but i never would have guessed that heet would have the same issue. The guy didn't seem mad i just asked if he could cancle the item he did and walked off without a word.

Musical knees - I have those. If they're on form, my ankles, knees, thumbs, wrists, elbows and shoulders make standing up sound like a tap-dance over cockroaches.

It's only toxic if you don't filter it.&nbsp; Flammability is also a good reason to withhold sales to younger kids.&nbsp; Underage drinking is one thing but burnt alive at 10, that's a serious issue.
