Anti-freeze is typically ethylene glycol, vs propylene glycol that is considered less or non-toxic… interestingly an antidote to ethylene glycol poisoning is ethanol… although my understanding is that it often isn’t enough to save a persom from some of the worst effects of antifreeze poisoning… often times drunken suicide attempts with antifreeze end up not working because the antidote has been delivered already, but it often prolongs some of the agonizing pain and still endangers their lives… without gastric levage and hemodialysis they can end up dying long agonizing deaths
