How do I tell if my drink has methanol in it?

Answer
Unfortunately, you cannot detect methanol by taste, smell, or appearance it looks and tastes similar to ethanol. Symptoms of methanol poisoning (blurred vision, nausea, abdominal pain, headache) appear 12-24 hours after consumption. Only consume alcohol from regulated, reputable sources and avoid homemade or suspicious beverages.
