Oh it's not that bad. Lead & sulphuric acid,lithium, and nickel and cadmium aren't my favorite ingestibles either. Ashley

Masa, as Paul pointed out, you shouldn't drink methanol without blending it with ethanol. It's not surprising that you felt uncomfortable drinking methanol. Ethanol is poisonous too, so even breaking methanol down with whiskey, you need to not drink too much. If you blend the two with water, be careful that you don't 'drown' the flavour by excess water. Both are soluble in all proportions with water, so you don't have to worry about phase separation. If you want to add some gasoline to your brew, you do need to be careful to avoid phase separation, which would completely spoil the taste. The ethanol/methanol/water components will separate from the gasoline if there's too much of the alcohols/water present. You could add a cosolvent to held blend them together. Lecithin would add some taste, nutritious value and help keep the brew mixed. If you add gasoline, then you should avoid smoking while drinking as the mixture would be highly inflammable. Mqurice
