   I think all would imagine "drinkable" means consumable.   
   There are plenty of solvents, e.g. methanol, ethylene glycol, that a few   
   drops won't harm you but a few swallows might kill you.   
      
   I had a professor that would analyze bootleg booze during prohibition   
   for the bootleggers.  He knew it was illegal but said there were more   
   people in the hospital from drinking booze with methanol than there were   
   pregnant women.
