I do remember back in my school days, a chemistry teacher explaining why it was dangerous to attempt brewing moonshine, which is still fairly usual in Brazilian prisons despite being a disciplinary fault, with some inmates being often reported intoxicated due to some methanol content on moonshine.

But anyway, if I were homebrewing my own booze, I would be careful, and I know about discarding the "head" and the "tail" in the cachaça brewing, as those tend to concentrate most of the impurities - which may include methanol.
