I know that sometimes it is easy to pour different fluids and solvents into smaller containers for ease of use, but occasionally it can lead to tragedy. Last week, a local teenaged girl died from drinking methanol that was in a vodka bottle that was brought from home by a friend, to a party.
Please make sure that you clearly label anything that isn't in its orginal container, and never use fruit juice or liquor bottles, or any other container that might be tempting to a young child or teen. I know that this should probably be in the Off Topic forum, but I wanted this to be read by as many members as possible.

Sorry to hear that Alex. Another suggestion is only to use materials you can eat! Or drink.

That is tragic. I put skull and crossbones on everything like that.

Not to get all political but have you ever read about what happened during prohibition and methanol? I don't know why they still make the stuff, it's intentionally poisoned product.
