Even being drunk for one day feels terrible so I'd rather avoid exposure to methanol than getting morbidly wasted in a hospital for 4 straight days.

Methanol smells like "very, very weak ethanol" to me.
The difference between the smell of methanol and for example isopropanol and higher alcohols - is huge.
It also depends a lot on the degree of purity and origin.
I have always been respectful of this substance as it can cause blindness.
This is one of the last things I want.
