This thread just reminded me of something hadn't thought about for an age...an uncle who used to babysit me was ''paid' by my parents with a large bottle of methylated spirits mixed with green limeade. I remember it's funny green colour, and once took a sip by mistake. Must have only been about 4 or 5 years old. In Glasgow (where i was brought up) mixing alcohol with meths, melted shoe polish and all sorts else was pretty common - in the are I stayed anyway. Gosh I never hear of it now even athough I do a weekly stint with the street homeless where I now live
