Can you mix orange juice with methylated spirits an then drink it?

Question

my mate wants me to try it but i aint so sure what will happen.. i heard it makes you blind or something but he says its ok to drink?

Answer 1

Let me put it this way. You'd probably only do it once. Let me know if you try and I'll recommend you for a Darwin award. They are almost always given posthumously. Your mate is a jackass.

Answer 2

Yeah it's nice, I'm blind now though!

Answer 3

well, do you think you should drink metho by itself? no. orange juice wouldn't help. on the bottle i have, it says; First aid: for advice contact a poisons information centre or at doctor (at once). If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. << That is something you don't see on a carton of oj...

Answer 4

dont drink that u would be crazy

Answer 5

Your mate wants you to do something that will blind you and probably kill you. Meths has a poison - methanol - added to it to STOP people from drinking it. Hence the term methylated.

Don't do it, and find a different mate.

Answer 6

it used to be ok.

years ago, to stop people from drinking it, they added a quite harmful form of alcohol.

have a look on the label, it will say its 99% something, then 1% something else

go on, have a look now

Answer 7

I wouldn't recommend that you drink it at all but lots of drinks are mixed with orange juice. I don't think that is very safe though.
