#9 Years ago they had a dog race across the eastern coast of Chukotka (across from western Alaska). The Alaskan teams took 1 gal cans of ban-ice (Methanol) for dog food cookers. Some local Russian chaps stole the ban-ice, drank it, went blind, and died. If the tannery waste did not get the lads from India, the methanol sure did. **gaaaaakkk**

#11 Hmmm.... Dread, urban legend has it that its the impurities (methyl) what's give you the bad uglies in the morn. So drink lots of water and have an oxygen cylinder by your bed for waking up.
