My great great uncle was an alcoholic and drank a bottle of rubbing alcohol once. He went blind for a week. His only comment was “didn’t taste like my usual stuff”.

Eta: do not try this. My great great uncle was just built different. He had smoked his entire life since he was a child but when he died his lungs were allegedly clean as a baby’s.
