We are going to Vietnam this year for holiday and I’ve read horror stories of poorly distilled alcohol in cocktails and such. Several tourists have died from methanol poisoning.
Would it be feasible to build a small detector for methanol? I’m okay with either a small chemical identification test or something like an IR spectrum analysis.
There are commercial test kits for professional laboratories but I need something affordable for regular consumers.
Thank you, that’s a very detailed response. I’ll probably just refrain from drinking cocktails unless I know it’s safe to do so.
