"Methanol is sometimes added to mixed drinks at disreputable bars as a cheaper alternative to ethanol, but can cause severe poisoning or death. It is also a byproduct of poorly distilled homebrew liquor, and could have found its way into bar drinks inadvertently." www.npr.org/2024/11/22/n...

Billboards are being installed in Berkshire County, MA for our helpline! These are funded through the HEALing Communities study and I responded to overdoses in this neighborhood in Pittsfield many times in the past. Hope it encourages someone to call!
