If i drink pure methylated spirits(for cleaning) will i die?!
Answers:
Probably!. It depends on the amount you drink!.
Despite its poisonous nature, denatured alcohol is sometimes consumed by the desperate or ignorant, which can result in blindness or death!. To help prevent this, denatonium is often added to give the substance an extremely bitter flavor!. Substances such as pyridine help to give the mixture an unpleasant odor, and emetic (vomiting) agents such as syrup of ipecac may also be included!.
There is no duty on denatured alcohol in most countries, making it considerably cheaper than pure ethanol!. Consequently, its composition is tightly defined by government regulations which vary between countries!. Different additives are used to make it both unpalatable and poisonous in such a way that is hard to rectify through distillation or other simple processes!. Methanol is commonly used for this in part because it has a boiling point close to that of ethanol, and separating it by distillation is difficult, but not impossible as methanol and ethanol form a zeotropic mixture (the opposite of an azeotropic mixture)!. In many countries, it is also required to be dyed blue or purple with an aniline dye!.
The tax-exempt status for denatured alcohol dates from the mid-19th century!. For instance the United Kingdom introduced legislation in 1855 to permit ethanol containing 10% wood-naphtha to be exempt!.
Perhaps this difference in government regulations between countries has given rise to the increase of use of this substance by young people!. In New Zealand, for instance, methylated spirits consumption is rising, causing numerous new cases of blindness and death!. This follows a move in 1999 by the Toxic Substances Board reducing the amount of methanol from 5% to 2%!. Given the global nature of iinformation available on the Internet and its popularity with young people, it's easy to see how some people may have the false impression that methylated spirits in their country are now safe to drink!. (Even though the amount of methanol in New Zealand is reduced, it it still highly poisonous!.)
Is there a safe amount to drink!? Probably!. But why would you do it!? It's like asking "how much rat poison can I safely eat"!? Do you like seelng!? Or would you trade sight for a nice, long rest in the hospital for the rest of your life!?
Maybe you should enjoy a nice, long drink!. Occasionally, the herd needs thinning!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
