An old method of poison control for accidental methanol ingestion was to inject users with (essentially) injectable everclear. Methanol metabolizes into formaldehyde and then formate, which can destroy your retina. By spiking the bloodstream with ethyl alcohol, it works to inhibit the enzymes necessary for conversion into formaldehyde.
I'm gonna go with M1T.
I'll never forget this in the way my biochem professor taught it- "you'll know you drank methanol because you will go blind before you die." But yeah down as much alcohol on the way to the hospital as possible and you might make it.
What do you know about the risks of aspartame hydrolyzing in heat to methanol? Is it consensus that Gulf War Syndrome was mainly because of that?
