A homeless middle-aged male patient presents in the emergency room in a state of intoxication. You note that he is behaviorally disinhibited and rowdy. He tells you that he has recently consumed about a pint of a red-colored liquid that his friends were using to "get high". He complains that his vision has blurred and that it is "like being in a snowstorm". His breath smells a bit like formaldehyde. The most likely cause of his intoxicated state is the ingestion of
A ethylene glycol
B ethanol
C isopropanolol
D methanol
E hexane
