Just one quick bitch ...

[Christopher McCandless]

Cowardly paint shops don't have any methanol. I need it to try colours in a neutral flame. 

 

Can get it by the gallon here

It's not banned but Swedish shops often take away "dangerous" things from their selection. I can order it from Göteborg, though, but it'll cost a shitload of money. 

Camping shops might do it, as do ecomentalists for making biofuel.

Not here. They're afraid that someone will mistake it for ethanol and drink it. Only paint shops, chemical suppliers and maybe hobby shops might have it.

That is a bit ridiculous - if a bottle has a chemical hazard symbol on, you don't drink it.

What really pisses me is that the dealers themselves are taking it away, when the product is perfectly legal. In some other European countries the dealers specifically sell things that are banned just to make more money, but not the cowardly Swedish dealers.

They are probably trying to stop the street bums drinking it, or kids thinking its a cheap way to get drunk (or because it would be more accessable in the home or shed)

That's ridiculous. We can just buy homemade booze or booze from Denmark and Germany if we want it cheap. There is no need for drinking poisonous alcohol, it's just another meaningless attempt to control people.

Also, they may be concerned that one can be poisoned by methanol by breathing its vapors or even through the skin by handling it without protection.

How far would it be to drive to Göteborg yourself to buy some methanol?  Would that be cheaper than ordering it and having it shipped?

It would be cheaper to drive there and buy it than ordering it, yes, though it's not cheap to drive there either.

Homemade booze sometimes has significant amounts of methanol in it, especially if the distiller does not discard the first distillate.  Methanol boils at a lower temperature than ethanol.  Homemade booze can also be contaminated with lead or ethylene glycol if the bootlegger uses a car radiator to condense his distillate.

Also some particularly unscrupulous distillers may deliberately add methanol to make their booze appear to be higher proof.

My grandpa made homemade when he was younger. It was excellent. 

[Phlexor]

My Grandfather has made his own booze for a long time. Considering how difficult it is to get along with my Grandmother, this makes a lot of sense.

My profile picture is not a fake! That is me and Seth Green and everything I've posted is true!

Who's saying it's a fake?

Someone on facebook! Grrrr!
