the rules is rather simple:
- ask a question about science principles/applications (maths, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, geology, etc), but NOT social sciences (economy, politics, socials, etc - since they're pretty subjective).
- you can obviously search and use everything to give the correct answer, and the reasonings behind, or cite a source.
- the one with correct answer can ask another question, till someone answer correctly.


well, I'll start with a rather easy one first:

why accidental methanol (wood alcohol - which was poisonous) poisonings could be easily treated by giving alcoholic drinks to the patient?
