Stupid assbackwards laws :angry-banghead:

It's not specific if that's what happened this time, but would suggest some seriously dangerous habits...
I know we have a local indigenous person making moonshine to supply to his cousins and anyone willing to take it. I don't know if he charges for it or not, but I know he's not the most well-read individual so he may very well be making the same type of product...
People are always looking for get rich quick schemes and unfortunately with the ease of being able to buy this equipment at HBS and eBay, this sort of occurrences will always happen!

I don't know... people seem to always find ways to by-pass rules... :teasing-tease:

Would think that they would have used an expert from the industry some very poor evidence given by there expert
Methanol itself has a relatively low toxicity.
Both the heads and the tails contain increased amounts of methanol.
If you drink methanol you will die so how is it low toxicity
How do they stop the hearts from having methanol if the tails have methanol .

what the hell?
"Doubleuj"
That's the reporter misrepresenting the coroners report. Page 4 of coroners report says methanol can be found in things like anti freeze and fuels for stoves and paint solvents and nail varnishes.
