I seem to remember they poison it with methanol to get around even higher duty on consumption alcohols.
Gasoline is not an alcohol (although some has ethanol as an additive). Gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbons of mostly about 6–8 carbons. (The octane rating of a particular gasoline product is determined by comparing its combustion characteristics to a mixture of hexane (C6H14) and octane (C8H18); the rating is the percentage of octane in the mixture with the same characteristics.) Beverage alcohol is ethanol, which has only 2 carbons, and also has
21 oxygen atoms(C2H46O2). Gasoline doesn't need to be poisoned to avoid taxes on alcohol; it's not alcohol, and it's quite toxic enough on its own, TYVM.

Cilantro
Wait a second. Are you saying that that green stuff comes from a plant and isn't made from flakes of dried dishwashing liquid?
this is what I am saying.
and if you are one of those mutants..... then i sorrow for you and your poor crippled taste buds.
I shall help you by eating your portion of cilantro "contaminated" things, as well as your Hawaiian Pizzas and other awesome foods that you crulely cannot enjoy.
I am not one of the mutants. I just fucking hate it. I prefer my Mexican food cilantro-free. I'm looking at you Chipotle.
Then i shall have your mexican for you so you are not sullied by touching the herb what of you (inconceivably) do not like.
I shall take this sacrifice in the name of increasing the total amount of happiness in the world.
But I like Mexican.
...just not their food (as is evident by your choice of spouse).

Almost. Ethanol only has one Hydroxy group and it's formula is commonly spelled like this as a result: C2H5OH.
C2H4O2 would probably look like this:It's an ester of formic acid. Not very drinkable.

@Rhywden You're right. Brain fart. For some reason I was thinking of CH3COOH instead of CH3CH2OH. Will fix OP.
-
@HardwareGeek Oh, right, I also overlooked the possibility of acetic acid.
Not that this one is particularly drinkable either

Well, I think I'd rather drink a beverage based on vinegar than methyl formate, but it definitely wouldn't be my first choice.
Also, subscripts on a phone are a PITA.

I'd guess they might have some citric acid, but probably not acetic.

I know people who drink dilute solutions of acetic acid on a regular basis. Supposedly for some health benefit.

Well, aceto balsamico is also quite nice for some dishes.

The idea of "fix it by changing a few files" seems to be completely woman to the Docker devs.
They've probably not met many
Fucking autocorrect. Why did it think I meant 'woman' when I typed" Allen"?

I'm sure we have a "worst of the worst" thread somewhere but this thread will have to do:

@ben_lubar those are incredibly weird boss fight names...

@Tsaukpaetra Please Specify in Replies is the hardest boss I've ever fought

Suddenly I have an urge to play Warning Forever.

@Zecc I had never heard of it before but now I do too

@ben_lubar Unrelated but you might be interested in this: On the new Infected Mushroom album the last track (Infected Megamix) has a bunch of Undertale samples in it
