What’s so good about methamphetamine (methylated alcohol)?

Methamphetamine, method, methylated alcohol or denatured alcohol are all the same things and you may have a bottle hidden in your shed (which is a good place because it is flammable). The methylated alcohol is 90% ethanol and 10% methanol.

But what is special about it? Ethanol, made by fermenting sugar, is completely biodegradable and produces only carbon dioxide and water when burned, and is drinkable. Methanol, on the other hand, is a toxic alcohol derived from wood products and is added to ethanol to produce Metho. That, of course, makes it undrinkable, forcing drinkers to buy their alcohol the normal route and therefore pay your taxes. MMM.

Throughout the years of Prohibition in the United States, tens of thousands suffered blindness, paralysis, or death from methanol added to methamphetamine. Reason enough not to drink it? Apparently not; It has been proven that it is necessary to add other substances to make it really unpleasant like the Spirit of Ipecac that causes vomiting (pleasant).

All very interesting, but nothing explains exactly why I spend me money on it. Okay, so what do you clean your toilet surfaces with? Do you have a color? How about a perfume? Does it definitely contain an antibacterial agent? How much do you spend on toilet bowl cleaners each year? Did you know that perfume and color added to cleaning products can leave a residue that, once the antibacterial effect wears off, actually provides an excellent breeding ground for bacteria? In contrast, methylated alcohol kills bacteria and evaporates very quickly without leaving a residue. Do you see where I’m going?

I dilute methylated alcohol with 30% water to make a spray that thoroughly cleans and sterilizes the toilet, door handles, light switches, etc., especially when there is nausea. It’s also brilliant at cleaning glass, removing ink stains (apparently, I haven’t tried it), making your mouth feel like it’s about to explode (mouthwash), cleaning computer screens and keyboards (yes, honestly), disinfecting. the skin before an injection. or operation (!), cleaning of wooden floors (yes), preservation of biological samples, treatment of cold sores and assistance in the production of biodiesel fuel.

But I only like it because it cleans my toilet thoroughly, saves me money (once diluted to 30%, it’s about half the price of commercial cleaners), and leaves my windows looking good (but keep it away from heat and flames) . Now is the time for a good glass of wine …
