Glycol is also handy for intoxicating children. If carbonated, it looks and tastes like Sprite.

The primary symptoms of glycol poisoning consists of neurological symptoms including victims appearing to be intoxicated, exhibiting symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, slurred speech, and confusion. Over time, the body metabolizes ethylene glycol into other toxins, first to glycolaldehyde, which is then oxidized to glycolic acid, glyoxylic acid, and finally oxalic acid. Secondary symptoms are a result of accumulation of these metabolites and consists of tachycardia, hypertension, hyperventilation, and metabolic acidosis. Epic symptoms of ethylene glycol poisoning is the result of kidney injury, leading to acute kidney failure.
