Usage notes
Denatured alcohol available on sale in Poland typically contains denatonium rather than toxic substances such as methanol and is thus extremely bitter, but non-toxic. The drinking of denaturat is strongly associated with severe alcoholism and homelessness. Popular beliefs also associate drinking it with a risk of blindness, due to the use of methanol as the denaturing agent in the past.
