others survived but suffered "very serious after-effects" ranging from irreversible total blindness to brain lesions that cause tremors similar to Parkinson's disease.

If ingested in large quantities, methanol can cause blindness, liver damage and death

Occurred among homeless and alcoholics.

Are they "cutting" good alcohol with methanol to make it last longer / more potent?

i said this from the beginning that it was going to be bootleg stills not removing the first few ounces of poisonous methanol to separate it from the alcohol.

its common knowledge everything made there with alcohol base uses local moonshine booze from stills

it was so obvious right from the beginning, yet it took them nearly a year to come out and just admit it

Reminds me of the tainted cough syrup from China that killed a bunch of people in the 80s or 90s.
