========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]======== Hi Paul, > what is denatured alcohol ? Denatured alcohol is an alcohol that was potentially consumable by humans, but has a poison added to it to make it unfit for human consumption. Alcohol is not expensive to produce. Since it is a pleasurable drink to many folks, alot of governments apply a hefty tax to consumable alcohol. To insure that they get their tax, the governments required all alcohol on which tax is not paid by the mfgr. must be rendered unfit for human consumption. This is done by adding a poison of some kind to the pure alcohol. Usually there's a colorant added as well to differentiate it from pure alcohol, since pure alcohol is clear. Thus the term 'denatured' (no longer natural). In the US most 'denatured' alcohol has a purple colorant added.
