You really have to wonder about a substance that can be used: in your gas tank as an alcoholic beverage as a cleaning fluid Ethanol, ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol and white lightning, are all the same thing. Sort of scary, no?
no, thats Not scary. If people huff stuff, then they get effects from abuse. Its the opposite with alchohol. They originally made it to get effects, and then they found uses for it. That just came along with time.
Pure ethanol is the safest alcohol to drink. Drinks like wine (but also most alcohol beverages except neutral grain spirits) have small amounts of methanol, grycerol, butylene glycol, inositol, sorbitol, isoamyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, active-amyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, propyl alcohol and hexanol, to name a few. These other types of alcohols are the main cause of hangovers not ethanol.
