Message	a winter formulation. glycol makes it taste better, unintentionally. without the glycol, you're tasting the nasty, methanol. As you observed, some folks will drink anything, e.g. pouring sterno through a piece of white bread supposedly takes some of the toxins out, but that stuff will still blind you, then kill you. Lowest I have sunk is MD 20-20 :c)
