Only if you want to spend the rest of the week in the hospital. The "denatured" part of the name means "made poisonous". Nasty stuff.

It only exists because drinkable alcohol is subject to high liquor taxes, and for industrial purposes, the tax makes it prohibitively expensive. Poisoning it makes it non-drinkable, and non-taxable.

A sample of ethanol may have other additives added to the solution. Typically a laboratory can purchase either denatured ethanol or pure ethanol.
