The issue of poisonous alcohol is often linked to the production of raw or fake liquor, which may contain harmful chemicals. Unlike government-approved liquor, which is distilled at specific temperatures to produce safe ethyl alcohol, illicit liquor can include dangerous substances like methyl alcohol. Methyl is particularly hazardous, as it can damage the eyes and brain and its consumption can lead to blindness or death.
