Hi All,
 
I did a little poking around on line and I was surprised by the variety
of denaturing agents that are used to render ethanol undrinkable.
Perhaps someone with more chemistry knowledge can assess how
bad any of the following might be to meteorites:
 
1. methanol (as Rosie pointed out) -- shouldn't be too bad, given that it's
just wood alcohol.
2. ethyl acetate
3. kerosene
4. gasoline
5. benzene
6. methyl isobutyl ketone
7. acetone
8. diethyl phthalate
9. crotonaldehyde
10. brucine sulfate
 
There are others, but these are the most common ones. --Rob
