yeah, that wasn't a genuine suggestion kids... "don't try this at home"!

Glycol causes a metabolic acidosis, encephalopathy, seizures, all sorts of funky horrors... but on the plus side, the treatment is intravenous alcohol so I guess every cloud has a silver lining and all....

Seen a few, never pretty....

For the trivia, an old local was telling me about Poitín back in the days. Apparently, the trick was to burn some in a spoon, and the colour of the flame would tell you if drinking it was going to make you blind (methanol vs ethanol). They had no clue about the chemistry involved, but they had somehow observed that figuratively blindly drinking any old Poitín was a great way to doing it literally for the rest of your days.

What most westerners (myself included) don't understand about drinking vodka is that you don't just drink. You eat while you're drinking. Do that, and you won't necessarily end up in a pile of your own vomit.

A giant pile of bread, cheese, meat, butter, whatever your heart desires, "zakuskiy" as they're called, and you can drink all night.

Not recommending it, unless you really don't like your liver. It doesn't help with that.

I made the mistake of gifting a bottle of Champagne to my polish neighbours for the new year. They invited me over the next day. My head/stomach/liver still blame me for it.
