Anybody who has barfed has tasted hydrochloric.  Probably enough other
stuff to mask the flavor, but it's there.

It is 'Säure'. And the adjective is 'sauer'.

But the treatment of choice at least used to be large doses of ethanol
(I don't know if it still is).  The liver changes ethanol to
acetaldehyde, which can be further metabolized; it changes methanol to
formaldehyde, which is a toxic metabolic dead end.  Apparently keeping
the liver busy allows much of the methanol to be excreted unchanged.

I hear that this was a viable method of assuring a week-long drunk for
those willing to take a chance on blindness, kidney failure, and death.

One should point out that people buy stuff (drugs)  every day from
people who no one would even talk to usually. Amazing.

Perhaps I was a bit too elliptic.  The strategy for the indigent
alcoholic was to buy enough methanol to kill himself, drink it, and
present himself at the emergency room.  Free medical grade booze ensued.

	Thank you! That shut up the bit of my brain that was trying to track

There's this guy who hasn't (AFAIK) been detained.  Visited, maybe,
though. 

  https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/search/Things+I+Wont+Work+With

Took print shop in 9th grade, hand set type and all.  As lark, my best
buddies and I printed up a letter head for a chemical research
institution.  A year or two later, I used that to order, from a
science supply house in one of the Carolinas, everything that local
pharmacies and surgical supply house had refused to sell me.  Order
came in a wooden crate.  By that time we lived in a house that was
cozy enough but sufficiently eccentric in architecture and crappy in
construction that I was allowed to do anything I liked in my "room"
that had, at one time, been some kind of store/shop appended to the
living quarters. So I had a proper lab --  umm, at least as proper as
my limited teen-age budget allowed.

Today, that crate from Carolina would probably be delivered by a
congeries of BATF & FBI guys, possibly with Dept. of Environment techs
in hazard suits on point.

	You can buy a surprising variety of things on eBay including
powdered aluminium, powdered iron oxide and magnesium ribbon. I've
occasionally wondered if anyone would notice me buying all three, but I've
no immediate use for it so ...
