- jtheory 14y agoBlame doesn't rest in one location only, does it? Obviously the people drinking alcohol in liquids not meant for consumption aren't in normal rational states of mind; but yes, they're doing something really stupid. But suppose when you're "denaturing" the alcohol in your product, you have the choice to use a substance that will make it taste very bad and cause vomiting; or a substance that will make people die, or at least go blind. Which should you choose? Next, suppose that the alcohol was stolen and resold by a bootlegger and thus has no warning (beyond the government's warnings that buying illegal alcohol is dangerous, which had already been going on for some time).
