Exactly. I'm unsure why the myth that EtOH is a 'satisfactory' antidote for MeOH poisoning persists but unfortunately it does—even here on HN.

I echoed the dangers of MeOH poisoning (in drink substitution, etc.) in my two posts and I've been downvoted several times without reason given.

Such misunderstandings are why I'm an advocate for strong regulations that ensure commonly-available MeOH is always denatured.
