Sterno was a brand name. The product is/was generically referred to as canned heat. When I was a kid, the hobos, when short on dinero, would strain a can of sterno through a sock to separate the chemical from the gel, to make a drink called pink lady. I’m not sure, but I think it had a lot of methanol in it. It would get you messed up, but it could also make you blind, and crippled, and eventually dead.
