Ethanol VS Methyl Alcohol + Prohibition

Hey poison pals! This one is a bit longer than usual, so bear with us (beer with us?). We are tackling alcohol (ethanol vs methyl alcohol) and the Prohibition of the 1920s/30s in the US. Alcohol is a toxin and we can't not discuss its effects on the body and on culture as well as the effects of methyl/wood alcohol which blinded and killed many during the Prohibition. Also, come learn how the American government was involved in the poisoning of its citizens during this time (seriously big oops). Obviously, the making and drinking of alcoholic beverages was going on way before that time period, so of course we delve into some world alcohol history and such first! You'll notice a pause halfway through where we took a break to get through the day (and I return with a well earned drink of my own--just one, because moderation and all that). Anyway, come learn and have fun with us as we delve into this messy business. Thanks so much to everyone for listening and supporting us however you can! We love to hear from you guys on here and on the IG!
