   Legend was one could separate drinkable alcohol from aftershave by straining it   
   thorough a slice of white bread.   
      
   This was told to me as having been done in Vietnam, by out then-neighbor in the   
   70s. I think Mennen aftershave was specifically mentioned.   
      
   I think we did this here a while ago, (I think) along with a link to someone   
   who   
   was convicted of manslaughter for knowing selling Sterno to alcoholics after it   
   was converted from ethyl to methyl alcohol.   
      
   Can't be bothered to descend into the mess ggl has made of the news archives...
