"Federal officials... ordered the poisoning of industrial alcohols manufactured in the United States, products regularly stolen by bootleggers and resold as drinkable spirits... by the time Prohibition ended in 1933, the federal poisoning program, by some estimates, had killed at least 10,000 people."
