Chemistry novices beware! The difference between making rum (ethanol) and methanol is literally the difference between a fun night and permanent blindness. Home distillation gone wrong produces methanol, which metabolizes to formaldehyde in your body. That's embalming fluid. Your liver basically turns it into "corpse juice." The menacing figure labeled "METHANOL" perfectly captures the grim reality waiting for our clueless homebrewer. Darwin Awards committee is standing by!
