Toxic alcohol
Toxic alcohols are a group of alcohols that include methanol, ethylene glycol and isopropyl alcohol.[1] They are alcohols that should not be drunk due to various toxic effects, mostly due to toxic metabolic breakdown products.[1] They are in contrast to ethanol, which is much better tolerated by the human body and is commonly used as a recreational drug, being the alcohol that is found in alcoholic drinks.
