Terrifying. No one expects to go blind and die when drinking alcohol.

I definitely think about that possibility and whether the distiller was skilled/wise enough to remove the methanol before i try homemade moonshine

Nobody expects to die or go blind drinking sterno, either. People do some pretty stupid things seeking a buzz at times.
