Thinking it is just rubbing alcohol, or lighter fluid, probably could drink it and live (happily) if you went off of the road. Could only imagine what your paint would look like after it sits on it all winter.

It is Methanol alcohol, the kind your liver cant process. The alcohol you drink is called Ethanol. Your liver cant process methanol and you can go blind if you drink to much of it (sketchy moon shine, home brew). Here is a cool story about a guy with methanol poisoning who was saved by giving him ethanol (15 cans of beer), not that I recommend Vice news or anything but...  https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/wjmq5z/15-cans-of-beer-saved-this-guy-from-alcohol-poisoning

BRUTAL CONDITIONS GUYS

We got up in here in International Falls for the cabinet job about 11am this morning. It was -26F with a -53F wind-chill and wasn't supposed to warm up at all today.

The forecast is calling for -42F and wind-chill in the -55F to -64F range overnight tonight. We are staying at a motel in town and they have plug ins so I'm plugging her in for sure.

We will finish this job tomorrow instead of Thursday if we stay late tonight so we are heading back to Minneapolis late tomorrow. 

     On a good note my 2018 Crew cab pulled the 5000lb loaded 16x7 trailer with no problems. Left her in 5th gear tow/ haul on) although you could tell there was a 20 mph headwind. Got 11 mpg on the way here going about 60 mph. 

Back to work.
