As viral TikTok trends go, this one’s a real killer…at least, potentially. The “Sink Drink” has gone viral on the app, which is where you pour a variety of things into the sink like sangria, vodka, and punch, and then drink it. One tutorial from @realtipsybartender has over 55-million views, and some of those were experts who were horrified at the idea.
Dr. Gareth Nye, a Program Lead for Medical Science, said after seeing the trend that “You are using your kitchen sink to get rid of things and you are likely facing millions of bacteria in and around the sink and plug hole.” One study found that 45-percent of kitchen sinks contained E. coli and other harmful bacteria.
