I haven't looked it up, but isn't it a poison with no known medical use? That's schedule 1. Right next to heroin.

It's a really good topical antiseptic.

I'm not sure beer and wine would fit this description. It would seem, at lower concentrations, there is no medical use.

You could say that about literally any medication…

Technically a treatment for methanol or ethylene glycol poisoning! Though we have a better one now. But yes the schedule system is a joke.

And if rescheduled ironically when someone makes moonshine wrong and poisons themselves, a doctor could prescribe liquor to solve it.
