Outbreaks of methanol toxicity have occurred when methanol is used to lace moonshine (bootleg liquor), [1] which is an alcohol-related crime. However, it may also happen if ethanol has been contaminated. Methanol is a toxic alcohol to humans via ingestion due to metabolism.
Methanol toxicity (also methanol poisoning) is poisoning from methanol, characteristically via ingestion. [1] Symptoms may include an altered/decreased level of consciousness , poor or no coordination, vomiting , abdominal pain , and a specific smell on the breath.
2 Μαρ 2020 · Methanol is a common contaminant of moonshine, which is typically made from fermenting a “mash” of corn, sugar, and yeast for a few days and then distilling the mixture.

20 Νοε 2024 · Two Australian teenagers have died after a suspected methanol poisoning in Laos. A pharmacologist explains what to know about this chemical compound.
13 Ιαν 2017 · Epidemics of methanol poisoning may occur when it is mistakenly substituted for ethanol by alcoholics or when methanol contaminants are used to ferment (e.g., wine) or illicitly distill (e.g., moonshine whisky) alcoholic beverages.
Methanol has a boiling point of 148°F (64.7°C), lower than that of ethanol (173.1°F/78.37°C), which may imply that methanol boils off first. However, methanol’s behavior in a still is more complex, thanks to hydrogen bonding and the dynamics of vapor-liquid interactions during distillation.
