Homemade Booze

"Tell us your stories of when you got so drunk on homemade mead you pissed in the cupboard.
Or tell us about the time you tried to buy wine stabiliser but got chased out of the friendly merchants shop because that compound is used to bash cocaine.
Tell us about the trials and tribulations of not being able to afford 4 cans of strongbow and couldn't brew your own poison so you got pissed on antifreeze and the next day pissed in your own mouth."
Thanks SpanishFly. MAKE THE ABSINTHE

Interestingly, the main antidote to methanol or ethylene glycol (antifreeze) poisoning
is ethanol, which acts by competing with the methanol/ethylene glycol for alcohol dehydrogenase.
If you turned up at casualty with methanol or ethylene glycol poisoning, one of the first things they would do is inject you with a 10% ABV ethanol solution.
Many alcoholic drinks, especially spirits, contain quite substantial amounts of methanol which on its own could be deadly. But when combined with the ethanol it doesn't do any harm.

This is the first time I've learned something here.
It is an unnerving experience.

EU safety limits specify 10g methanol per litre of ethanol
That's 0.4% v/v in a 40% bottle of spirits. That's not "quite substantial".

I duuno
That seems quite a lot to me. Would you swallow a teaspoon full of pure methanol out of the bottle?
