The U.S. government went through 40 recipes to add poisonous chemicals to it to stop people drinking it during Prohibition. It didn’t work and thousands died. An unexpected result of that social experiment.

Not quite:
Denatured alcohol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
∗Denatured alcohol∗, also called ∗methylated spirits∗, is ethanol
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol> that has additives to make it
poisonous <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisonous>, somewhat bad
tasting, foul smelling or nauseating
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emetic>, to discourage recreational
consumption. In some cases it is also dyed.
