    Sure. You can also get dead.

    A few years ago there was a spate of young medics getting blinded because they were adding alcohol to punch at parties. Unfortunately it was methyl not ethyl alcohol. Methyl alcohol is highly toxic. It is added to spirits specifically to stop people drinking them. That's why it's called methylated spirits.

    You'd think medical students would know the difference. Apparently they didn't.

    In some Native communities in the north of Canada some Natives were filtering Windshield fluid through a loaf of bread believing it would make it safe to consume . Many died from drinking it .

    No, you get buried deep in the ground. Methyl is wood alcohol "the skull and crossbones" stuff.

    Yes one can get very dead, and until that state of being (or not) kicks in one should avoid breathing on naked flames
