Anything that enters your mouth gets broken down into basic products that the body can use for energy - or get rid of. This is called metabolism.
Ethanol (alcohol you drink), methanol (same thing as methyl alcohol) (wood alcohol) and ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) are all processed in the same way in the body.
Ethylene glycol and methanol when they are processed are broken down into really bad products that are poisonous to the body. Ethanol (drinking alcohol) just gets broken down into products that cause a hangover.
If someone has ingested ethylene glycol or methanol, making them drink ethanol would delay the creation of those bad/poisonous products that are created in the body - and they definitely have to go to the hospital to get rid of the ethylene glycol or methanol in a different way then there body processing it and creating those poisonous products.

What are types of cryoprotectant?
1. DMSO 2. Ethylene glycol 3. Glycerol 4. 2-Methyl-2,4-pentanediol 5. Propylene glycol 6. Sucrose 7. Methylcellosolve 8. Dimethylformamide
Can you mix methyl alcohol with antifreeze?
No, you should not mix methyl alcohol with antifreeze. Antifreeze typically contains ethylene glycol, not methyl alcohol. Mixing them could result in a potentially hazardous or ineffective solution for your vehicle's cooling system.
What is the most dangerous type of alcohol to drink?
Everclear which is 95% alcohol or Moonshine which is illegal in alot of states
What Two methyl groups bonded together are called?
Ethylene
Is isopropyl alcohol the same as propylene glycol?
Propylene glycol and benzine glycol differ in chemical formula and properties. Ethylene glycol is more toxic than propylene glycol, therefore propylene glycol is used when safer properties are required.
Is methyl octane alcohol alkane or alkenes?
Alcohol is an Oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbonyl group. As such, there is no such thing as 'Methyl Octane Alcohol'. However, there is Methyl Alcohol and Octyl Alcohol. Please edit your question. Also: If you are asking if Methyl Alcohol is miscible (dissoluble) in octane, it is. Alkanes are hydrocarbons only, so both octane and the methyl group in methanol (methyl alcohol) are alkanes.
Is methyl hydrate the same as methyl alcohol?
Yes, methyl hydrate is another term for methanol, which is also known as methyl alcohol. They are the same substance, a type of alcohol that is commonly used as a solvent and fuel.
Is methyl alcohol electrolyte?
Methyl alcohol by itself is not an electrolyte. By definition, an electrolyte is something containing free ions. If you took methyl alcohol and dissolved a salt in it, the resulting solution would indeed by an electrolyte solution. However, methyl alcohol by itself is not an electrolyte.
What is the boling point of methyl alcohol?
The boiling point of methyl alcohol (methanol) is 64.7oC.
Why is CH3OH methyl alcohol?
CH3OH is called methyl alcohol because it is a type of alcohol compound where the hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to a carbon atom (methyl group -CH3) in the molecule. This naming convention is based on the IUPAC system for naming organic compounds.
Is methanol an alcohol?
It is considered as methyl alcohol and wood alcohol
What is the function of methyl stearate and propylene glycol in hand cream?
Methyl stearate is a fatty acid that acts as an emollient to moisturize and soften the skin in hand cream. Propylene glycol is a humectant that helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin, providing hydration and preventing dryness. Together, these ingredients work to improve the overall texture and feel of the hand cream.
