Denatured Ethanol vs regular Ethanol

Denatured Ethanol is not edible. Regular Ethanol is safe for drinking, but DeNatured Ethanol is not safe for drinking due to the denaturing.

Also known as denatured Alcohol, Denatured Ethanol is ethanol to which additives have been added to make it non-edible  (i.e. unsuitable and unsafe for drinking or human consumption). Denatured Alcohol is made specifically for cosmetic, lab, industrial, and domestic uses.
