"Despite its poisonous nature, denatured alcohol (methylated spirit) is sometimes consumed by the desperate or ignorant, which can result in blindness or death."

In other words, dear god no! What were you thinking? That stuff is for camping stoves and paint thinner. Get real alcohol and stop raiding your grampa's shed.

Methyl alcohol is poisonous, so I would say NO.
