	Methylated spirit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Methylated spirit (or Meths) is ethanol which has been dyed and rendered undrinkable, and is used for purposes such as fuel for spirit burners or as a solvent.
		The tax-exempt status for denatured alcohol dates from the mid 19th century, for instance the United Kingdom introduced legislation in 1855 to permit ethanol containing 10% wood-naphtha to be exempt.
		Despite its poisonous nature, methylated spirit (or "meths") is sometimes drunk, alone or mixed with other substances, by alcoholics who have become destitute.

		From 1858 to 1861 methylated spirit was duty-free when it was required for manufacturing processes, and the methylation or " denaturizing " was carried out in accordance with a prescribed process.
		During the next three decades (1861-1891) the law was extended, and methylated spirit was duty-free for all purposes except for use as beverages and internal medicinal applications.

		The fusel oil of British pot-still spirits is chiefly composed of amyl and butyl alcohols, whereas in patent spirits propyl alcohol preponderates, that is, in the finished or fine spirit, since the fusel oil separated from patent spirit in the course of distillation consist-s mainly of amyl and butyl alcohols.

		The spirit flame also heats the reservoir to some extent (and the air within it), and the consequent expansion of the air will, even without any pumping if the valve be closed down, force some of the paraffin up into the burner.
		For this reason the valve is best kept open when the methylated spirit is first lighted, as otherwise the oil may be forced into the burner before the burner is sufficiently hot to vaporise it.
		If insufficient spirit has been used (a somewhat rare fault in a beginner), or the spirit flame has not been sufficiently guarded, the spirit may burn entirely away before the small whitish flame is seen.

		I use a LensPen to clean my optical elements (lens front and rear, eyepiece), and methylated spirit (manufactured for medical/surgical use, acquired at a pharmacy) to clean my camera and lens bodies.
		I think methylated spirit is basically ethanol with a small amount of methanol added to make it undrinkable (or at least toxic if drunk), plus some dye.
		It's eliminated from the body slowly, so chronic exposure to the vapor isn't a good idea, so, for example, if you're a camera repair technician it wouldn't be a good idea to spend all day cleaning cameas with pure methanol.

		They put it in 'methylated spirits' in NZ and England to stop people drinking it - but of course it doesn't; (hence the term 'metho's') it merely sends them blind and mad.
		This is often made by soaking grain (barley, wheat, corn etc) in water, allowing it to just sprout which produces sugars and enzymes, dissolving out the sugars and fermenting them with yeasts, then distilling off the ethanol which is of course a waste product of the yeast growing and multiplying.
		I have used spirit lamps containing 'methylated spirit' most of my life and have drunk alcohols since I was 20 (I prefer rum, with lemon or cloves please, depending on the ambient temperature) So there you are, more than you ever wanted to know about alcohols - you can blame Skip Meister for all this.
