The spirits industry has pivoted from providing stiff drinks to creating a health product in high-demand to help ward off infectious germs.

Bottles of hand sanitizer made at the Eight Oaks Farm Distillery fill a box at the distillery in New Tripoli, Pa., March 16, 2020. The distillery's owner, Chad Butters, grew increasingly angry as he saw the skyrocketing price of hand sanitizer. So he's temporarily converting his operation into a production line for the suddenly hard-to-find, gooey, alcohol-based disinfectant.

Members of the public queue to buy bottles of hand sanitizer and gin, made and sold at Listoke Distillery and Gin School in Tenure, north of Dublin in Ireland, March 18, 2020. The gin stills of the Listoke Distillery have been repurposed in the fight against the coronavirus, producing precious hand sanitizer currently in short supply across Ireland.

Conlon estimated that they have sold upwards of 4,000 bottles to provide a boost in the local fight against infection.
