Discussion My attempt at dying with windshield washer fluid (methanol/isopropanol) failed

[olvalgon]

I tried consuming windshield washer fluid containing methanol/ethylene glycol/isopropranol. It failed and I'm still alive. Here is a report from the hospital.

I had around 3000mg/L of methanol in my blood and my blood pH went as low as 7.21

Is there any damage to your organs?

I'm sorry. Have my virtual hugs

Is that your real name on the report? Are you sure you want people seeing that? X

Was it painful and are you ok now? I'm such an absolute dunce.. I actually thought windshield washer fluid was drinkable.. like if you broke down in the wilderness with no water you could drink it!! Guess I was wrong then...

Hope you're feeling OK all things considered.

Methanol is nasty stuff. You could kill yourself, but you could also just end up with permanent vision loss or blindness.
