LPT: If anyone offers you moonshine, put some in a metal spoon and set fire to it. If it burns any color but a faint blue, throw it out.

People who hear your shitty ass advice that you can easily separate ethanol from methanol on a pot still be magically changing the boiling point of a solution. That's who.

No recipes call for it because people dumb enough to think it works (like you) die when they try it.

AKA why so many moonshiners died during prohibition. Also why people keep dying from methanol poisoning around the world:

wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_methanol_poisoning_incidents

The Pärnu methanol poisoning incident occurred in Pärnu county, Estonia, in September 2001, when 68 people died and 43 were left disabled after contents of stolen methanol canisters were used in production of bootleg liquor.

Production. Not added to bootleg liquor. Used in the PRODUCTION. How do you produce liquor? You distill it. So it was added to PRODUCTION not the PRODUCT.

Look through that list and educate yourself. You are promoting an untrue myth that has gotten thousands killed.

Put your ego away and cut that shit out. Stubbornly trying to save face in an argument is way less important than people's lives. Don't be a fucking asshole. You said something wrong, you got thoroughly corrected. Now learn and move on.
