What is Denatured Alcohol?
Denatured Alcohol is 95% ethyl alcohol (same as you find in beer)
with 4% methyl alcohol (highly toxic)
and 1% pyridine (to make it taste vile).
This is to stop people trying to drink it; it's absolutely deadly.
Rubbing alcohol is isopropyl alcohol, which is a volatile liquid
with a different structure entirely to ethyl alcohol.
It evaporates very quickly, which is why it is used in cleansers.

Why is there no channel-1 on the broadcast TV in the U.S.?
There is no Channel 1 in North America, Period.
There used to be back a few decades, but the FCC did in fact reassign it
for use by mobile users. When transmitters started getting more and
more powerful, it was found that Channel One (Because of its hertz range)
started to interfere with everything from Airplane/Control Tower
communications to Hospital Machinery.
