Methanol(wood alcohol) is an alcohol found in windshield wiper fluid. It's a colorless transparent liquid. They add food coloring to the windshield wiper fluid so that you won't drink it.
The density is 0.792 g/cm3.
The melting point is −97.6 °C (−143.7 °F; 175.6 K).
The boiling point of methanol is
64.7 °C (148.5 °F; 337.8 K).
Methanol is toxic!
Ingesting as little as 10 mL (0.34 US fl oz) of pure methanol can cause permanent blindness by destruction of the optic nerve. 30 mL (1.0 US fl oz) is potentially fatal. The median lethal dose is 100 mL (3.4 US fl oz), i.e., 1–2 mL/kg body weight of pure methanol.
Alcohols that you can drink that are safe are ethanol, propylene glycol and 2-methyl-2-butanol. Alcohols you can't drink that are toxic are methanol and ethylene glycol.

Perry drank methanol windshield wiper fluid. He died. He should have drank 2-methyl-2-butanol and ethanol. Methanol is for you windshield, not for drinking!

Get the Methanol mug.the direct contact of methanol upon a complacent testers legs while filling a batch nipple to some tubing. resulting in the need to change coveralls so not to allow testicles to shrivel further. the only way to cure methanol legs is to drink gibsons wiskey untill temporrary blindness sets in.
tyler: hey look at me im not paying attention to what im doing because im thinking of boning fat campies and licking toes....ummmm.... toes.
ryan: hey dipshit pay attention to what your doin your getting methanol legs.......god.

Get the methanol legs mug.A chemically engineered derivitive of cocaine that is produced in labs mainly in eastern asia. The street name is "Docta Peppa" because of the minty sting. Considered highly dangerous and usually must be consumed in large quanitities to reach the desired effect.

Get the Di-Methanol Echo H-4 mug.Methanol is a simple alcohol, in fact, it is the simplest out of all the alcohols.
Methanol has a sweet, mild but harsh, somewhat chemical, alcoholic odour.
It is a very versatile solvent that evaporates quickly due to its chemical properties, and it's useful in the production of many useful plastics, windshield/windscreen washer fluids for cars and other vehicles, also for producing effective cleaning products, and even in the production of pharmaceuticals, with the methanol being removed from the final product.
It is also highly flammable, and it has a low boiling point of around 65°Celsius, making it useful as a fuel additive or a racing fuel in itself, although it can be corrosive, which has its pros and cons.
Methanol has a similar taste to regular food-grade alcohol called "ethanol", but while methanol may seem benign, it is actually a highly toxic substance.
The reason why methanol is toxic to humans and even animals is due to its metabolic breakdown.
Methanol itself initially is very low in toxicity to humans, but when it's ingested, the human liver metabolises in it the same way as it would metabolise normal drinking alcohol, but in an attempt to break down the methanol, the liver accidentally converts the methanol into chemicals that would poison the body and can easily cause vision loss and severe organ damage, resulting in permanent blindness, and potentially even have a fatal outcome.

Hey bro, try my homemade rum that I've made.
It's low in carbs, it is about 80 proof, and it has no toxic levels of *methanol* present in it.

Get the Methanol mug.A reasonable name for ethanol (alcohol), which breaks IUPAC naming rules for molecules. Can be used when alcohol is brought up in conversation, but you don’t want eavesdropping adults to know that you’re into underage drinking
