Toxic alcohol

Toxic alcohols are a group of alcohols that include methanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and isopropyl alcohol.[1] They are alcohols that should not be drunk.[1] They are in contrast to ethanol, which is commonly used as a recreational drug and is the alcohol that is found in alcoholic drinks.
