    We have methylated spirit here in Australia but some of it does not have the purple dye in it not sure about methanol/ethanol content. People drink it and it smells foul to me.

    Most stuff in the UK has pyridine in it and it's realy toxic, it should not be sold or at least have a big skull and crossbones saying if you drink it you will die.

    Bittering agent and ethanol with colour

    Problem with the colour is when you use it for cleaning it can stain some stuff.

    Should be noted that methanol is toxic even by contact, you shouldnt breath it in or allow much to come in contact with skin even. Its a neurotoxin. Doing this once is really all you should ever do, or not at all if possible.

    I have done this with 99% lab grade ethanol, and even that is almost painful, although it did have a slightly fruity aftertaste.
