  It’s definitely dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing. As in, “you can die” kind of dangerous.

  But if you know what you are doing, nah, it’s perfectly safe, and kind of easy to do too.

  Probably most definitely illegal in most places too, but if you just shut the f up and don’t blabber about it to everyone you meet or try to sell or give it away, there’s pretty much nothing they can do about it, cause they don’t know about it, and neither does anyone else.

    Reminds me of a joke I’ve heard from a few people now. “Let’s drink faster, guys, it’s already getting dark.”

    Sure, if you don’t know what you’re doing. But, as we eliminate all regulations in the US, we gotta learn how to DIY.

    This is largely false and due to prohibition era propaganda. You would need to be trying very hard to get enough methanol to be dangerous or deliberately add it.

      Humans have been distilling for ages, I find it hard to believe it’s that dangerous, especially if you do any research or learning.

  Sure, but anything that involves drinking spirits by the pint is going to be dangerous so who cares?

  Only illegal if they catch you. He didn’t record his face.
