If you’re drinking methyl alcohol, it could kill you.  It’s beginning to sound like there’s a major problem with tainted alcohol in DR.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Using the radiators out of 1950's cars to distill shine is also problematic.
