Well people have been drinking it for years. It's basically the same stuff as moonshine, or corn liquor. I would imagine that ethanol for cars will have some additives that will make it undrinkable.

> With the current push to make the US less dependent on foriegn oil, many are turning to ethanol (ethyl alcohol) as the next big thing in US energy. This means that farmers are now going to send their surplus off to the refinery/distillery. Our cars are going to become alcoholics. God forbid that people should attempt to drink the new fuel- have there been any problems with this?
