The reason I have heard is that high temperature can cause pressurization of the container due to the vapor pressure of the alcohol. It is conceivable that you could get 5-6 psi of pressure in a container on a really hot day. That could be enough to cause a container to burst.
There were rumors it could combust, but that’s been largely debunked. But some ingredients can degrade in direct sunlight, so the effectiveness could fall. It’s still better than using spit.
That’s at least actionable. And a reminder that if not used fast enough, the center cup holder is a poor storage location. The door pocket or glove box would remove the direct sunlight most of the time. Trade off vs easy access.
Because it should be kept in a cool dry place away from sunlight. It has to do with evaporation from what I recall but this was last summer so I'm fuzzy. It can also cause the lids to pop open easily and can make a mess (that did happen to me the only time I left it in the car). Going back to the suggested storage of cool, dry places away from direct sunlight - and in the summer that's not my car. Nothing nefarious, but I just think it's better to keep it on me instead of my car.

If you are using that much hand sanitizer I'd be careful of touching my eyes too
The active ingredient in hand sanitizer is ethyl alcohol, aka ethanol, aka the same stuff that’s in your adult beverages. It has a boiling point of 173 degrees F and a freezing point of -173 degrees F. It can degrade in the sun, so you should have it in the shade but, I highly doubt your car will ever get as hot or cold to change ethanol’s physical state.
Leads me to the thought of "can you slather enough sanitizer on your skin and absorb enough alcohol to feel the effects?"
Sorry was following the WHO. Forgive me for listening to them "Containers / dispensers should be stored in a cool place, and care should be taken regarding the securing of tops / lids"
My daughter had covid the beginning of last March. Got antibodies tested, donated plasma as she had antibodies. Had to have a covid test (negative) December upon returning to NY from a short vacay in Florida. Had another antibody test done just for the heck of it at same time. Guess what - no antibodies. They did say she might still have some t-cells which would provide immunity, but they don't test for those. She will get the vaccine when she is eligible, but being "young and healthy" that may not be until summer.
A concept Jack Daniels or Jim Beam should look into. Sanitize, get a buzz and don't need to actually drink.

The vaccines seem to provoke a stronger immune response than just getting covid. So she is right to get vaccinated when her group is allowed.
So news sites reported about Oregon "covid cases" with people vaccinated (Both shots). It should be no surprise since the MRNA vaccines are 95% effective overall in the Phase 3 studies. I wonder if some people will point to it and say "See the vaccines really do not work, so why should I take it". To me the cases (given the current count) do not even warrant being emphasized in a news article.
So what are the numbers from the phase 3 trial?
https://www.nejm.org/doi/suppl/10.1056/NEJMoa2034577/suppl_file/nejmoa2034577_appendix.pdf
If the virus is no more contagious than before then the phase 3 Pfizer study had 43,448 participants. Half with Placebo. In the time frame monitored in the paper 8 vaccinated (+7 days since second shot) and 162 placebo got Covid.
Now the Oregon total time since second shot may (or may not) be less than the study time post second shot, but if it was the same then we could expect (If Oregon shots/2 equals second shot +7 days in Oregon [It won't the real number will be less])
We should expect
Oregon fully vaccinate = <(677,000/2)
Study fully vaccinated = (43448/2)
Expected Oregon fully vaccinated covid cases = ~ 677000/43448 *8= ~ 124 cases
Actual cases = 4 cases
Now total time in trial vs in Oregon was not compensated for in the above formula.
But no one should be surprised that some get Covid even after fully being vaccinated. The severity may be less, and the chances of getting is less. But people's immune systems vary. That is one reason why they do a Phase 3 study.
The article below does say that the cases are expected, but unless other news organization are reporting it and say it is unexpected, it would seem to not be newsworthy.
'Breakthrough' COVID-19 reported in 4 fully vaccinated individuals
Health officials in Oregon said they are investigating four so-called “breakthrough” cases of coronavirus that were detected in individuals two weeks after they received their second dose of vaccine.
Woah way to box every nascar fan in there....some serious rawr vibes there. Good job marginalziing though.
Yeah, I doubt those are all the numbers yet
