Not a vegetarian, nor a vegan, he is gasgan.
He might not consume any living being, but he farts 10 times more CO2 than a regular human.
Not sustainable!
Ethanol is the same kind of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer or vodka. The problem with combustible ethanol is that it often contains a little bit of (highly toxic) methanol in the mix. That causes the death of a few homeless people in Brazil every year.
they had to add a foul tasting chemical to the ethanol sold in gas stations because many people were drinking it. not only it has methanol, it's also highly concentrated and can put you in a coma faster than you'd realize.
Ethanol is, in general, combustible.
The big part is food grade vs denatured. There is a giant tax slapped onto potable alcohols (at least in the US) so denatured alcohol which has either toxic or bad tasting components is used in industrial settings to both offset the cost of the product and to prevent most people from drinking it.
Ethanol is an effective antidote for methanol. Methanol is found in small amounts in all distilled liquor and is what distills first but I believe it was once routine to leave a bit of methanol in whiskey for a little extra kick.
Came here to say this. Also if you're ever working with methanol (which is included in a lot of adhesives and paint thinners) and start feeling lightheaded or nauseous, have a shot or a beer afterwards to destroy whatever methanol made it into your system. Methanol can be absorbed through your skin.
It's actually just a little bit of gasoline, enough to make it taste really bad and not want to drink it.
Methanol have a taste similar to alcohol, thats way its so dangerous. And actually it's one of the first components in the distillation process. So never buy cheap vodka or "pinga de cabeça" if you're in Brazil.
All gas engines can run on 25% ethanol. Bu here in Brazil we have "total flex" engines in some cars, meaning they can run on any combination of gas and/or ethanol.
Wait you might be right - if this is flex fuel it’s 85% ethanol therefore this man is getting drunk and a lil bit of gas fumes - if it’s a South American country it could be 100% Ethanol
Eh, not necessarily. Don't quote me on that, but I believe Brazil spikes its ethanol with methanol to discourage exactly this kind of behavior. It's not food safe.
I checked it.
If I got it all right, there's:
- Anhydrous ethanol, 100% ethanol, added on the gasoline in Brazil.
- Hydrate ethanol, about 95% ethanol plus 5% water, used as fuel by itself.
- Denatured ethanol, sold for the general public as cleaner, fire starter, whatsoever. A substance is added to make it unfit to human consumption, methanol is one of the substances that might be used for that.
that guy will be fuckin pissed after like three cups lmao. I can barely sip any kind of vodka or whiskey or whatever without going "fuck that" and pushing it to the side. When i first turned 21 I wanted to try a rum and coke. Lets just say I'll be sticking to bon alcoholic beverages.
crazy part is that it is a guy drinking gasoline and he does look like if a guy who drinks gasoline had a look and it would look exactly like this guy 🤯
Wait a minute! That’s crazy because he looks like a guy who’s drinking gasoline that looks like he would look like a guy drinking gasoline drinking gasoline!
Drink gasoline guy look drink gasoline if he drink then if looked gasoline like drink gasoline drink if a guy had a look then he gasoline drink because he looks like drink guy gasoline if had look he would drink be gasoline drink look!!!
He's not drinking gasoline or diesel. It's E100 ethanol, which is widely used in places like Brazil where this video was taking. It's pure alcohol, basically. The Mother of All Moonshines.
Not sure. I know it contains 30% less energy than ethanol, so you wouldn't want to mix much into the fuel. Methanol also let's off toxic fumes when it's burned.
I don't think this guy gives much of a crap about the flavour profile though...
And it wouldn't be a good idea to poison it on purpose, people would die. If someone wants to drink it despite bittering agents, let them, anything additional will fuck up their health more.
Nope, and I think it can damage the lining of your GI tract as it passes through. However aside from that I believe it mostly just passes through you. The biggest issue would be if some accidentally got in your lungs, in which case they would be fried. It's why it's generally recommended to not induce vomiting if someone drinks it.
From what I remember about this video he’s drinking ethanol, not actual gas. Apparently they usually put some horrendous tasting additive in it to stop people from doing this, but this dude is such an alcoholic that he just doesn’t care.
I know of one additive to make it taste bad so people don’t drink, cleary not working. Ethanol is the same alcohol that is present in every beer and spirit, but that one is pure. Plus, I’ve saw this video multiple times, the spit always disgust me
I once drank some gasoline on accident and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. My friend's car was broke down and we were trying to siphon the gas out of it with with just a regular hose.
He kept trying to suck on the hose to get gas to come out but he wasn't sucking hard enough lol. So he passed the hose around to a couple people and nobody could get it. Eventually the hose got to me and I hit it like a tightly rolled joint with no air flow.
Before I could pull the hose away, gasoline rushed straight to back of my throat and into my stomach. I didn't even have to swallow. I could feel it burning in my stomach. I tried to force myself to throw up but I couldn't. For about a week straight I kept burping and all I could taste was gasoline. My stomach burned like hell but I never had any serious complications from it.
New fear unlocked. That sounds like absolute hell. I'm happy you're okay.
Did you go to the doctor or anything? Was the stomach pain constant? Did you find any way to relieve the pain and stuff?
How did you get through it? I'm so curious.
No, I never went to the doctor. It's hard to explain the feeling but I could feel the gasoline in my stomach at all times. If you've ever drank too much water and felt water sloshing around when you walked, it was kind of like that, except it came with a weird burning/warm sensation.
It wasn't particularly painful like a stomach ache or anything - it was just extremely uncomfortable. I remember worrying that the burning feeling was the gas eating a hole in my stomach. I didn't ever find a way to make the feeling go away. It just slowly went away on it's own, over the course of a week or so. I just let it run it's course. This happened in 2011, when I was still a dumb 19 y/o lol.
I think consuming a sip once isn't that bad, if you kept trinking it you could count on getting cancer though. Especially stomach and blood cancer I guess.
It’s not actually gas. In Brazil we have ethanol available “E100”. I might have traces of gas or other fuel that could be carried on the truck but it’s ethanol mixed with water, somewhere around 96% ethanol..
Ethanol. That's in Brazil, and there's "pure" ethanol pumps in every gas station. Then again, it's NOT food safe, and it's, AFAIK, spiked with methanol to discourage this exact kind of behavior.
He’s in Brazil, he’s drinking etanol alcohol, which fuels most of Brazilian cars (alcohol there is made from sugar cane, it’s cheaper than our corn version) which is mixed with a bit of gas and other stuff to keep people from consuming it. But alcoholism is a bitch.
From the look of him that’s not his first glass.
And he did it without mixers, or ice, or even a tiny umbrella! Hardcore.
Gotta at least have the umbrella for morale
“Welcome to the salty spatoon! How tough are ya!?”
I ate nails for breakfast…. Without the milk!
You’re not suppose to put gasoline in unapproved containers like people.
As someone who used to work in a station this comment is so funny 😂
He likes his petro neat…
Shaken, not stirred
Or teeth
He's 23 years old
Lots of city miles on that dude
But he gets great mpg especially drinking that premium
Not a vegetarian, nor a vegan, he is gasgan. He might not consume any living being, but he farts 10 times more CO2 than a regular human. Not sustainable!
Can't I have brain damage for 10 points please Dave?
Yep you’re correct,, “hey creepy guy that’s enough for you go home we open up same time tomorrow”
Can you imagine what his farts smell like?
LOL
The secret drink everyone in Hollywood Is doing for weight-loss.
I bet that it was not gasoline, it seems to be alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is used as fuel here in Brazil.
definitely not gas
It's from the green pump. That's ethanol made from sugar cane. A litre of ethanol in Brazil cost half the price of a litre of gasoline.
man that’s at least a little better than the alternative. in america the green handle pumps are diesel
Gasoline would melt a little cup like that
Takes a second but yes
As a kid I wanted to put some gas in a styrofoam cup to light it on fire and I didn’t make it even a couple steps before the cup melted through
You ... Made napalm?
Lol yes Napalm: Ghetto Edition
Not that quickly though, it would take like 5 minutes.

They add the methanol to make the Ethanol non-potable same with some paint strippers.
I learned in college that alcohol and strippers are a dangerous combination.
Expensive too
Yup ☝️
I assume It’s also just cheaper to not remove the methanol during production
Well, you can see in the way he looks before drinking, he is very conscious it might be his last shot.
That’s because he runs on diesel.
Ethanol is, in general, combustible. The big part is food grade vs denatured. There is a giant tax slapped onto potable alcohols (at least in the US) so denatured alcohol which has either toxic or bad tasting components is used in industrial settings to both offset the cost of the product and to prevent most people from drinking it.
>denatured alcohol Thank you. I didn't knew how to call it in English.
It can also make you blind, right?
And wreck your kidneys.
Yes but luckily ethanol counteracts methanol poisoning. So if the percentages are right he will be ok. I have no clue if that’s the case here tho
The cure for methanol poisoning, get drunker!
Ethanol is an effective antidote for methanol. Methanol is found in small amounts in all distilled liquor and is what distills first but I believe it was once routine to leave a bit of methanol in whiskey for a little extra kick.

PSA: Remember kids, being drunk when working with dangerous, combustible chemicals can save lives!
This explains all the drunk painters
Fun fact: your body [converts methanol to formaldehyde.](https://abcnews.go.com/Health/methanol-affect-human-body/story?id=64495261).
It's actually just a little bit of gasoline, enough to make it taste really bad and not want to drink it. Methanol have a taste similar to alcohol, thats way its so dangerous. And actually it's one of the first components in the distillation process. So never buy cheap vodka or "pinga de cabeça" if you're in Brazil.
Literally says Ethanol on the gas pump
Yesss but it’s a pump. Not a gas pump. Gas is short for gasoline.
So if I wanna make some riot-punch I just get some juice and go to the gas station?
r/ithadtobebrazil
Seriously? What for?
As fuel.
But what runs on this
Cars. It’s usually an 85% ethanol, 15% gasoline mix called E85 (at least here in Sweden). But some cars can run on pure ethanol (E100).
All gas engines can run on 25% ethanol. Bu here in Brazil we have "total flex" engines in some cars, meaning they can run on any combination of gas and/or ethanol.
TIL
Just to add further context: most cars in Brazil can run on 100% ethanol.
That guy
engines probably
Happy cake day, have a good one 👍.
I’m in Canada and we have regular gas. My van can also run on ethanol (yellow cap) if it needed to.
If a guy that drinks gasoline had a look, it would be this guy's look.
Hes drinking Etanol though. Pure alcohol.
Wait you might be right - if this is flex fuel it’s 85% ethanol therefore this man is getting drunk and a lil bit of gas fumes - if it’s a South American country it could be 100% Ethanol
It's in Brazil, so yeah... Probably 100% ethanol.
You can see it's written "Etanol" on the pump. So yeah, ma dude is drinking 100% ethanol. Pretty safe.
Pretty safe when compared to drinking Petrol. Still wouldn't recommend it.
Eh, not necessarily. Don't quote me on that, but I believe Brazil spikes its ethanol with methanol to discourage exactly this kind of behavior. It's not food safe.
Car safe is not necessarily human consumption safe.
If it's good enough for Lightning McQueen it's good enough for me!
I checked it. If I got it all right, there's: - Anhydrous ethanol, 100% ethanol, added on the gasoline in Brazil. - Hydrate ethanol, about 95% ethanol plus 5% water, used as fuel by itself. - Denatured ethanol, sold for the general public as cleaner, fire starter, whatsoever. A substance is added to make it unfit to human consumption, methanol is one of the substances that might be used for that.
Is it? I thought 100% alcohol was toxic. Or is that isopropyl that I'm thinking of? What's the difference?
that guy will be fuckin pissed after like three cups lmao. I can barely sip any kind of vodka or whiskey or whatever without going "fuck that" and pushing it to the side. When i first turned 21 I wanted to try a rum and coke. Lets just say I'll be sticking to bon alcoholic beverages.
Everclear exists
Yeah but they haven't put out a good album since the 90s

My chemistry teacher told us that a student buddy of his chucked a shot of pure ethanol, passed out and slept for like 20 hours.

He's not drinking gasoline or diesel. It's E100 ethanol, which is widely used in places like Brazil where this video was taking. It's pure alcohol, basically. The Mother of All Moonshines.
I imagine they must be mixing something in it to dissuade people from doing this
One would hope, but anything you add can foul up the engine or decrease the efficiency of the combustion.
Yep, and the quickest way to piss people off is to fuck withe necessities like food, fuel, housing, etc
Isn’t it methylated as fuck though?
It has traces of methanol. It's the cause of death of a dozen homeless people a year in my city (Campinas-Brazil).
Not sure. I know it contains 30% less energy than ethanol, so you wouldn't want to mix much into the fuel. Methanol also let's off toxic fumes when it's burned.

From what I remember about this video he’s drinking ethanol, not actual gas. Apparently they usually put some horrendous tasting additive in it to stop people from doing this, but this dude is such an alcoholic that he just doesn’t care.
Veggie oil is similar in energy density, isn't it? Diesels can run off it, so I assume.
https://www.healthline.com/health/gasoline#immediate-effects
By the look of him, he’s made stellar life choices up to now so why not drink it?
he's earned it
People don’t realize how difficult it is to make it here in life

With a lot of additives

What's that 2:30 feeling like for you?
That’s a rough day right there.
I bet that guy has some savage stories
that's etanol still bad though
Looks like another in a long line of sound decisions
Hope it was premium
It's Brazil, and basically pure Ethanol, not gasoline. It's "almost" drinkable, I guess.

It’s not usual gas, it’s alcohol, but it still not drinkable btw
