Something a little different. The drink is sold under the name Sterno or methanol and on the street known as “smoke” or “squeeze” due to the smoky appearance created by straining it through white bread and how it is extracted by squeezing the sterno. People who drink it think the bread removes the impurities and makes it ok to drink. Strained or not it’s deadly and causes blindness and death.

I was offered a drink but politely declined.
