I’m curious to hear experiences of this. I found it last night while rabbit holing in a Wikipedia binge.
For those unfamiliar, it’s a form of denatured alcohol. It’s sold in can form and used mainly as cooking fuel.
Apparently it has a somewhat well documented history of use, supposedly coming into popularity during Prohibition.
The band Canned Heat is also named after this phenomenon.
I guess I’m just curious to hear any first hand experiences of this ? I’m assuming it was largely negative effects people experienced, but I’m wondering what it actually felt like (seemingly good enough for many people to resort to it)
