Isopropyl alchohol, is typically cut with methyl achohol to discourage its use as an intoxicant--the idea being that it is better to die than to get drunk---The Purrell label doesn't include methyl alchohol as an ingredient, though this may be because our "conservative" leaders have decided that full disclosure interfers with the right of corporations to poison us--

At any rate, the stuff is a highly flammable gel, which makes it doubly dangerous, especially around children.
