Best Answer

Methanol is extremely toxic in comparison to Ethanol. A drink of 10ml can cause permanent blindness. It can pass through the skin to our body. 125ml can cause death. It has many properties similar to ethanol so it is very difficult to detect its presence. In metabolism it is oxidized to formaldehyde and later formic acid, which can later cause fatal problems.
