"In 1926, the federal government, in an effort to enforce the so-called “Noble Experiment, ” mandated adding poisons (including methanol) to industrial alcohol so as to discourage people from drinking it." - The Poisoner's Handbook

Reminds me of the hysterical posts about marijuana.

I am all for prohibition, so long as it doesn't apply to me.

Prohibition was a major provoker of creativity, the speakeasies etc.. they should bring it back for that reason, will get something better than stadium rock et al.

My grandpa was one of those moonshiners, his stuff was pure. (Speaking from a little experience) 😂

With Women's Sufferage came Prohibition and Warren G. Harding.

It's still being intentionally poisoned

I expected an older person narrator. Someone from the 1920s.
