In addition, most sources of "pure" ethanol are "denatured" which means that poisons are added to keep people from drinking it. This is because the government doesn't tax ethanol when it's used for purposes other than consumption, so when it is sold for those purposes it must either be taxed as an alcoholic beverage, or denatured so no one can drink it.
