Hooch tragedies, also known as illicit or spurious liquor tragedies, have been a recurring issue in India, resulting in numerous deaths and health complications. These tragedies often involve the consumption of illegally produced alcoholic beverages that are contaminated with toxic substances, particularly methanol.

Methanol, or wood alcohol (CH3OH), is a colourless, volatile liquid used as an industrial solvent, antifreeze, and fuel. It is highly toxic, and ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption can cause severe health issues, including headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, metabolic acidosis, visual disturbances, blindness, organ failure, and death. Immediate medical intervention is essential to prevent its toxic byproducts.
