Answer & Explaination:
Methanol is highly toxic for humans. It can cause permanent blindness by destruction of the optic nerve.
Ingesting as little as 10 mL of methanol can blind people permanently.
Ethanol, being non toxic can be consumed.
The presence of methanol in spurious alcohol makes it unfit for consumption.
