#1 Either methanol or propylene glycol, I guess. It depends upon whether the brewer was incompetant, or reckless.

#2 I am the man, the very fat man,
That waters the workers' beer
I am the man, the very fat man,
That waters the workers' beer
And what do I care if it makes them ill,
If it makes them terribly queer
I've a car, a yacht, and an aeroplane,
And I waters the workers' beer

Now when I waters the workers' beer,
I puts in strychnine
Some methylated spirits,
And a can of kerosine
Ah, but such a brew so terribly strong,
It would make them terribly queer
So I reaches me hand for the watering-can
And I waters the workers' beer

Now a drop of good beer is good for a man
When he's tired, thirsty and hot
And I sometimes have a drop myself,
From a very special pot
For a strong and healthy working class
Is the thing that I most fear
So I reaches my hand for the watering-can
And I waters the workers' beer

Now ladies fair, beyond compare,
Be you maiden or wife
Spare a thought for such a man
Who leads such a lonely life
For the water rates are frightfully high,
And the meths is terribly dear
And there ain't the profit there used to be
In watering the workers' beer

#3 Send those people emergency shipments of Boone's Farm Apple Wine and 40oz malt liquors. There's not a minute to lose!

#4 hey I can make a homebrew batch for these guys ;) heh

I wonder if anything happens to these "branded" folks identified to be drinking the banned substance by their illness

#5 "so when you're out of beer and wine,
and anti-freeze and ink...
...and aftershave and turpentine,
'near-beer's the thing to drink!
Oh, Non-Barleycorn -- Non-Barleycorn..."

i dunno, does Rantburg have drinking threads like LGF?
