meths
Poisoned industrial spirit
Meths is British slang for methylated spirits—denatured alcohol used as a fuel or solvent.
The additives make it undrinkable, though desperate alcoholics sometimes consume it anyway: He'd been reduced to drinking meths.
The word appears mainly in British and Australian English.
