Two Tennessee teenagers have died and two others were hospitalized after possibly drinking a mix of methanol and Mountain Dew.
Officials said that the teens seem to have confused methanol, a poisonous ingredient in gasoline, with ethanol, which is the primary type of consumable alcohol.
"Dewshine," a mixture of Mountain Dew and methanol-based racing fuel, is the likely cause of the recent deaths of two Tennessee teens, a poison control official said Wednesday.
Two other boys who drank the mixture at a party last week were hospitalized, treated and released, said Dr. Donna Seger, executive director of the Tennessee Poison Center.
