It is called "denatured" alcohol, but it is not necessarily "poisoned" because some idiot will always try to drink it anyway. Cooking sherries, for instance, are "denatured" with gross quantities of salt...which, I suppose in the end is probably worse than ingesting rat poison. Oh well.

How do you prevent diarrhea from alcohol consumption?

If you are experiencing the runs from your drinking, you are -- by definition -- drinking far too much. It does not happen to "social" drinkers. Drink less alcohol. Alcohol-induced diarrhea is caused by the body's rejection of the alcohol, which it recognizes as a poison, and because of the irritation caused to the inside of the digestive tract. Some people are more susceptible to that than others. If you are one of them, consider it one more good reason not to drink.
