: Louis, R.J.  Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, Eighth

Methanol is toxic, as your references say, but not a single one does
anything to change the fact that it is not a narcotic.  Your original
statement that it was a narcotic is just another attribute that your
understanding of science is shoddy and your postings are specifically
designed to be reactionary and misleading.
