meth·yl·ate (mth-lt)

BTW if u mean a booz's brand name = Methylated , i have no idea then .... no TH word can explain .. it just like a specific brand name

Off-brand sterno is plentiful. Ripe, rich and round, with lots of spicy, earth-scented black cherry and berry flavors, hinting deliciously at chocolate on the smooth finish.

Methylated spirits (also called denatured alcohol or surgical spirits) is ethyl alcohol to which a poisonous substance such as methanol (10%) has been added to prevent you drinking it. Can be used as a solvent (ตัวทำละลาย) for cleaning etc.

This Thai page from Wikipedia has a definition of meths: "เมทานอลยังใช้ผสมเอทานอล เพื่อมิให้สามารถรับประทานได้ (denatured alcohol)" - something like "Methanol mixed with ethanol to prevent you drinking it".
