Using a simple still to make alcohol to drink can blind and even
kill you. The trouble is that it doesn’t separate the methanol
(“wood” alcohol) from the ethanol (“grain” alcohol).
If someone were to make this, they should only use it for cooking
or sterilizing wounds. If someone really wanted to make a still,
there are plenty of plans on the intertubes.
Thanks for sharing that wonderful infographic. Have a great holiday!
You too!
