I wonder if ethanol could get rid of DIethylene glycol poisoning. It may act by a diferent mechanism. Thanks for pointing that out. I wonder if ethanol could get rid of DIethylene glycol poisoning.

I always think, "If you want to kill yourself, at least don't do it by drinking washer fluid. There are more painless methods". Flippant commenting apart, it is truly sad. But I also do remember hearing about methanol related deaths of unfortunate people who could not kick their ethanol habit and ended up accidentally discovering methanol somewhere.

Seems to me, that would be an easy way to go. One glass of windshield washer fluid should do the trick. Maybe not.
