    Denatured alcohol

    Yes, denatured alcohol is ethanol but has additives to taste replusive, smell or has been coloured. Mainly used for fuel stoves and uses where methanol may not be as effective.

    Sounds like methylated spirits, "metho". Rumoured to be sold cold in stores in remote communities. Also popular with street and park people. Known as Coorabulka Champagne or Borraloola Champagne when a spoonful of Sal Vital is mixed into a glass of it.

    Ethanol with 2.5% petrol added. Sold as methylated spirits. Camping stores, or your average supermarket.

    In South America they use blue color to stop stupid people to drink the stuff, then really super stupid people use bleach to get rid of the blue and as you guessed they drink the stuff. It is bad for them but worse for the tax payers to keep them a live

    Methanol is wood alcohol and is poisonous, and is therefore not suitable for domestic uses.

    From Wikipedia :-

    "Typical additives are methanol, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, denatonium, and even (uncommonly) aviation gasoline."

    Additives to denature ethanol will be something to make it poisonous, something to make it taste horrible, and usually something to make it smell horrible and as an emetic, with all additives chosen so as to be difficult to separate from the ethanol, and so as not to affect it for usual applications (solvent, fuel). I had a look at the bottle under my sink - all it says is 95% ethanol.
