No shit.  It happened to my grandfather.  He thought he was drinking
ethanol but it was actually methanol so that was the end of him.  My
mother was 6 years old at the time her father died.  Another corpse,
courtesy of the power-mad criminals in Congress.

Were it not for such puritanical freedom-bashing, I might have met my
grandfather.

Many, if not most of the drug-related deaths today could be prevented
if only the crooks in DC could be convinced to stop trying to shove
their narrow-minded morality down their nominal masters' throats.
