Yes, The U.S. Gov't Poisoned Alcohol in the 1920s

One of the darkest chapters of Prohibition was the government's use of toxic additives in industrial alcohol to deter drinkers. On Christmas Day 1926, 66 people died as a result.

They do the same thing to rubbing alcohol. Poison it so that people won't get a cheap drink.

[@JimmyJaxJellyStax]

maybe used the same recipe

[@Seeds-Of-The-Wayside]

Isopropyl alcohol is intrinsically poisonous. I believe you are referring to methylated spirits or denatured alcohol.

[@thatblastedflyfish9515]

@@Seeds-Of-The-Wayside he’s referring to older rubbing alcohol, back when they did use methanol

They still do it. It's called denatured alcohol.

[@n0ame1u1]

Yeah, and they also did it before Prohibition, since 1906 (since it made industrial alcohol not be subject to the same taxes as drinking alcohol)

*The prohibition law shouldn't have been lifted* Thousands die due to intoxicants every year. It has also led to the destruction of countless families. Like God Almighty says, There is benefit in Alcohol and Gambling. But the loss is greater than the benefit

[@BRAINFxck10]

Chummy Chimchim but then you have an endless war against gangsters and outlaws, it's futile to ban a substance that's been around for at least 10,000 years, congruent to the dawn of human agriculture

Legalizing and then regulating is the best way to keep people from dying. It's been proven by example a number of times.

[@richardscheirman9782]

Can't impose your will on others. It's not my will. I don't drink but my dad does it's killing him but his choice. Any path we choose is tragic we all die.
