Methanol is highly toxic if inhaled, drunk, or absorbed through the skin and can cause blindness. Ethyl alcohol is the same as ethanol or grain alcohol.

How do you distill hand sanitizer in order to make edible alcohol?
Wikipedia has an article on Alcohol Rubs here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_sanitizer They typically use ethanol (standard drinking alcohol mixed with something to render it undrinkable) or isopropanol ("rubbing alcohol" which is poisonous — not in a good way — if swallowed). A concentration of 60-70 percent is needed. Standard rubbing alcohol should do the trick, as would a 120+ proof liquor, although both will dry out your skin. You could mix in a small amount of glycerine for moisturizing, and possibly a thickener, but you risk diluting the alcohol to where the mixture is no longer effective. A mixture of nine parts 70% rubbing alcohol to one part glycerine should give you a good (but runny) substitute at a lower price.

Is grain alcohol more sanitary than rubbing alcohol. I have been using grain alcohol for antibacterial usage rather than using the gel antibacterial lotions. But grain alcohol costs 15 per liter.?
"Grain alcohol" is ethyl alcohol (ethanol). Gel antibacterial lotions are typically somewhere around 70% ethyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is most potent as an antiseptic when diluted slightly with water to somewhere around that 70% ethyl alcohol range. If you're buying "grain alcohol" that is 190 proof (95%) or greater, and using it straight as an antiseptic, then you're not getting the best value for your money.Rubbing alcohol is typically 70% isopropyl alcohol. It too is a good antiseptic.The gel antibacterial lotions are easier to apply, less messy, and they contain emollients that prevent the skin from being dried out by the alcohol. Generally speaking they are the best solution to the problem, combine with thorough washing several times a day.As for which is better, I suppose it all comes down to concentration and application, but all should work just fine.

How do you separate ethyl alcohol from a mixture?
First, place the beverage in a container that can be sealed (a flask would be perfect.) Connect this container to another that is submerged in ice water. It may be a good idea to attach a balloon to this apparatus to allow for the air expansion. Then heat up the container with the beverage in it until it starts simmering (don't make it boil rapidly because then you'll be creating water vapour.) In theory, the Ethanol will evaporate and go to the second container and then condense on the sides of the container. This process will undoubtfully ruin the taste of the wine or beer, but you'll have a very strong cleaning agent in the other container (that you should certainly not consider drinking!)
