They only put it in...
...to make the alcohol poisonous, to discourage people from drinking it.

Having said that, pure alcohol isn't going to do your body many favours either.

yep,
so that industrial alcohol avoids the taxes levied on drinking alcohol (ethanol).

because ethanol is oxidised in the body to vinegar,
but methanol becomes methanoic acid, which will kill you.

100% of FACT.

...add a purple dye, so you know not to drink it - otherwise it would be colourless.

A bit like diesel - although you don't drink that. I don't reccomend it anyway.
