I’ve been digging on the Alcohol matter for like an hour and i’m still confused. As i understood is the same type of alcohol they use for cleaning and for drinking.

Alcohol isn’t equal to alcohol.

For drinkable alcohol you need to make sure that methyl-alcohols stay under a certain amount.

Thats why moonshine can blind or kill you, during the distilling you need to take some extra caution to get a safe drinkable product.
