My grandfather had a Phillips 66 service station in Topeka, Kansas for nearly 50 years.
He once told me that during prohibition, he caught a vagrant alcoholic under the front end of a vehicle. The man had loosened the radiator pet*ock and was letting the methanol run through a wad of cotton into his mouth. The guy was so intent on getting alcohol of any kind he was either unaware or didn't care that methanol was poisonous.
