- mattkrause 6y agoThe article is a little bit confusing on the nature of denaturing. Alcohol can be denatured by making it literally unsafe to drink (methanol, gasoline, etc), or by making it really unpalatable (denatonium benzoate, vinegar, etc), or both. The list of agents and formulae are here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/27/part-21 https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/27/part-21 Balancing the safety effects of kids eating hand sanitizer vs. the safety effects of not having enough hand sanitizer is tough, but insisting on a bitterant doesn't strike me as totally indefensible.
