"Methylated spirit (Meths or denatured alcohol\u2014but not Rubbing alcohol 
which is different) is ethanol which has been rendered toxic or 
otherwise undrinkable, and in some cases dyed.
It is used for purposes such as fuel for spirit burners and camping 
stoves, and as a solvent.
Traditionally, the main additive was 10% methanol, which gave rise to 
its name, but this is not always the case now.
There are diverse industrial uses for ethanol, and therefore literally 
hundreds of recipes for denaturing ethanol.
Typical additives are methanol, isopropanol, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl 
isobutyl ketone, denatonium, and even (uncommonly) aviation gasoline.


As used in the phrase denatured alcohol, denatured means "_a specific 
property of ethanol, its usefulness as a beverage, is removed_".
The ethanol molecule is not denatured in the sense that its chemical 
structure is altered."

Booze - that's 40-60% alcohol the most potent 'shine is 75%
you might be able to use the first few pints, which are toxic and 
undrinkable.
