methylated
Made unfit drinking
Methylated describes something that has had a methyl group (a carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms) added through chemical reaction.
In chemistry, methylated compounds appear throughout organic synthesis and biochemistry—DNA methylation regulates gene expression.
In everyday use, methylated spirits is denatured alcohol made undrinkable by adding methyl alcohol, used as a solvent and fuel.
