Why would somebody buy a gallon of acetone?  Are they making drugs?
<|assistant|>
Acetone is mainly used in the beauty industry as an ingredient in nail polish removers and other cosmetic and personal care products. It can also be used to refill ink cartridges and restore old furniture. It is also used in certain types of paint and as a cleaning agent. People may buy a gallon of acetone for these purpose, or for another use such as chemical processing or fueling an engine. 
It is also used for household purposes such as polishing metal, restoring plastic, removing grease or glue, decolorizing wine and beer, cleaning mold off of clothing and jewelry, and dissolving paint for re-use. Some people may choose to use acetone for the illicit purpose of producing illegal drugs. But this is likely not a common purpose, or the only one, for buying a gallon of acetone.
