CNS depressant?

Besides alcohol, there are many other toxic substances in surrogate alcohol such as hydrogen peroxide, antiseptics, ketones, as well as alcohols other than ethanol (drinking alcohol) such as isopropanol and methanol. Consumption of these can lead to internal hemorrhaging and scarring, ulcers, headaches, CNS depression, blindness, coma, and death.

I don't really see the need to mention that. A good portion of people drink booze for the depressant actions of ethanol. I don't see why it is relevant to mention methanol and isopropanol as depressants when ethanol is too. Obviously too much depression is bad. Clr324 (say hi) 10:52, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
