Yes - most ethanol is denatured by adding a small quantity of methanol, which renders it undrinkable. They also sometimes add a bitter compound to discourage drinking or a colour to identify it as non-drinkable. If you can get cheap high-proof food-grade ethanol that would be best, as methanol can be absorbed through the skin. You could also re-distill the ethanol (may not be legal in your jurisdiction), or find the MSDS to figure out the methanol range.
