Be advised that ethanol, or ethyl alcohol, is flammable. It is mildly toxic, too. But is probably most dangerous for the deleterious effects it produces when it is consumed. People ingest it, become intoxicated and act differently because of the changes that CH3CH2OH, C2H5OH causes to those who have imbibed.
According to experts, biofuels use only energy from carbon fixation and does not give off any greenhouse effects which negatively impacts air quality and humans. Therefore, biofuel is safe for the environment.
Ethanol is also known as grain alcohol, and is the type of alcohol found in beer, wine, and liquors. The ethanol produced in commercial distilling plants for used in automotive fuel is purposely poisoned with an additive to prevent its theft and use for drinking.
Ethanol Alcohol is safe to drink (responsibly) as it has 2 carbon atoms and it is the one used in all Alcoholic Beverages. Any other type of alcohol (methyl, isopropyl, butanol) are poisonous to the human body. For example if you drink methyl alcohol (derivied from wood) you will cause permanent swelling of the optic nerve and in turn you will go blind.
The same precautions are general in any lab:
Although ethanol is used in alcohol - no, pure ethanol is not edible. It is too strong for the human body and has an overpowering vapour.
Being exposed to ethanol vapours can cause blackouts or, sometimes, even blindness. Drinking the pure liquid can cause intense scalding of the windpipe and oesophagus, causing breathing complications and a slow, agonising death.
Ethanol in alcoholic drinks has been watered down and weakened to safe levels. But drinks with ethanol are still known to cause headaches, migraines, stomach upsets and have a negative depressant effect on the brain.
8oz is fatal for an adult, so yeah it's not safe to drink, unless it was small quantity.
Ethanol is the proper scientific name for the type of alcohol that's reasonably safe for humans to drink. It's what makes people drunk, and bring some flavour.
no ethanol is not an element. Ethanol is an Organic compound.
how is ethanol controlled
No, ethanol is an alcohol.
technical grade is bethween 96% and 98% ethanol and ethanol absolute means pure ethanol whithout water ('almost') 99.9% ethanol Absolute ethanol has no water whereas 96% ethanol has 4% water or 98% has 2% water. Thus, the reaction can occur with water.
The car has to be built to run on ethanol. Ethanol requires different fuel lines, injector sizes, computer programming.
Some with older cars don't notice a difference when combining ethanol with gasoline. 10% ethanol mixed with gasoline is a safe amount to use for perfect results.
E-85 will if the engine is not designed for it. Normal 15% ethanol gasoline mixtures are safe on all engines.
Drinking ethonol might make you go blind
Sure. Vodka is 40% ethanol and it cures all my illnesses. You might want to light it up beforehand though.
false, denatured alcohol is not safe to drink even tho it contains ethanol

The 2004 Oldsmobile Alero is safe for E10 ethanol-gasoline blends. It is not approved for E15 or E85, and those blends must not be used in this vehicle.
Only if its a flex fuel. I'm guessing no.
From what I've heard, if your vehicle was not designed to run on ethanol, don't put it in the tank. Ethanol is a type of alcohol, and will corrode fuel lines, fuel injectors and cause a number of problems. 99, suburban....I'd use regular gas to be safe
