And that kids, is why there is an IV bag of vodka hanging in a refrigerator in every ER. Seriously, it's 40% ethanol, in an IV bag. I about crapped when I first saw one; before I learned what it was for, I was like "Damn, doctors know how to party!".

[@CTharunkrishnaVR]

So the thing is,if I accidentally happen to drink something that contains methanol I can ingest vodka and I will be fine? Seriously? Will I just not faint or puke or will my situation go more worse? It's confusing💀

[@nickolasstrudwick7232]

@@CTharunkrishnaVR Is it really? Your liver has an enzyme - alcohol dehydrogenase - that is specifically there to target any alcohol group. It prefers ethanol so it latches to that first thus depleting its availability. Therefore there is not enough AD left to latch to methanol to start the process of toxic methanol metabolites. It's floats around as a waste produce and as such your body wants to get rid of it so you piss it out or you have it removed from your blood via dialysis. You normally piss out some unmetabolized alcohol when you drink.

[@charlieclark9552]

So the moral, if you have moonshine, also buy a bottle of hard liquor

Both are hard liquor though. I think you might be an alcoholic. 😂

It wasn’t racing fuel, more then likely a super strong moonshine full of methanol heads that weren’t dumped. Very dangerous too.

[@bsanchez3563]

Wait is coser also have/contain any methanol ie wood alcohol?

[@danielcurtis1434]

That’s not how fermentation or distillation works!!! if you were to take only the beginning and the end of the distillation you would have a potentially toxic substance. However it’s not gonna kill you that fast. It’s a small concentration. More importantly ethanol is actually an antidote to methanol. So if they are drinking moonshine they wouldn’t die in this way. Now drinking racing fuel which run on pure methanol you would be ingesting many many times more methanol without an antidote included. But the moonshine is an issue more long term as it builds up.

[@thamirivonjaahri6378]

I still remember my grandfather's story about how he and his friends in their local army company (was in late 1950s) once bought and started drinking some moonshine pegged by bunch of gypsies as it was dead cheap and only thing available practicaly behind barracks wall. Their commander has off course found out, called the local barkeeper (in the middle of the night) and literally ordered them to keep drinking legal booze until they all passed out. Mostly because there were frequent cases of poisonings before from drinking homebrewed stuff and as such pretty high chance for that moonshine to be full of methanol. Then, after they recuperated and were pronounced "sound in mind and body" by company's doc, they all received 14 (2 weeks jail time, not fun at all since it adds up to your total conscription time and there is literally nothing to do in 5x10 feet cell) and spent next good three months "peeling potatoes" in addition to their regular training. Peeling potatoes was expression for the worst job you could possibly be assigned with including but not limited to latrine sh*t detail and other rather inconvenient tasks...

Aside from ethanol, there is another antidote for methanol poisoning. It's called Fomepizole and, like ethanol, it competes for the alcohol dehydrogenase, preventing your body from metabolizing methanol. Again, no formaldehyde and no subsequent formic acid. The problem is that Fomepizole is more expensive and less readily available than ethanol.

[@bsanchez3563]

Wait sp why is it matter if they are merely mixed together? And either way why not simply mix the two

[@max3eey]

What about disulfiram?

[@bsanchez3563]

@@max3eey ?

[@islandblind]

@@max3eey That's an interesting idea. None of the literature that I've read mentions disulfiram in the treatment protocols. Given that disulfiram also blocks the action of alcohol dehydrogenase, it might work as well. The problem is that disulfiram can cause nasty side effects in its own right, including visual disturbances and heart failure. What the video didn't mention is that people who have ingested significant amounts of methanol often require hemodialysis to remove the methanol, and it's metabolites from their blood. The antidotes give you time to get the patient onto a dialysis machine.

[@TheForsaken2152]

Just a nitpick, but the cytochorme c oxidase (COX) doesn't actually produce the ATP, that's done by the ATPase. But the COX Enzyme plays an important part in the reaction chain leading up to the production of ATP. So the ATP can't be produced because a previous step is missing. But other than that, great video!

Pretty nice, thanks for this video! I can add an information. The methanol can be obtained in fermentation process from pectin, found in the cell walls of plant materials, an enzime is responsible for demethoxylation of galacturonic acid monomers, one of the products of this process is methanol. I m whiskey and beer productor, I know how correctly separate the ethanol from methanol and others components which can contaminate the beverage. I m sorry, but I don't have the references here now, you can find about this topic in literature using key words: methanol, pectinmethylesterase, pectin, alcohol fermentation...

Methanol was never really used as "racing furl" there was some notable experimentation with methanol fuel mixtures in the 1990s, but since it's significantly less efficient than ethanol, it's not used at all. Ethanol has a better reputation as "racing fuel" where as methanol is mostly used in mouthwash.
