Yes, but you need to drink untainted alcohol in huge quantities to give your liver something to do instead of killing you. When you don’t know, you drink in moderation, or worse each following drink has more methanol in it. You might be fucked before you even realize what’s going on, and even with a doctor in the room it’s not immediately obvious what’s happening.
Yeah methanol poisoning is no joke. Huge warning signs on cisterns saying “contaminated with methanol” yet people will still try to steal it for drinking and end up blind or dead. Usually doesn’t make the news since yaknow, stupidity and ignoring obvious warning signs.
