Toxic alcohol
Toxic alcohols are a group of alcohols that include methanol , ethylene glycol and isopropyl alcohol .[1] They are alcohols that should not be drunk because of various toxic effects, mostly due to toxic metabolic breakdown products.[1] They are in contrast to ethanol , which is much better tolerated by the human body and is commonly used as a recreational drug , being the alcohol that is found in alcoholic drinks . One notable example of a toxic alcohol is surrogate alcohols .
