there's to possibilities as to how the drinks could have been tainted. it really just seems like third world stupidity to me. it's entirely plausible thay somebody just didn't know what they were doing and "sucked the monkey" and replaced it with methanol not knowing the consequences. also it's possible that what was supposed to be ethynol was originally supposed to be used for cleaning purposes and the people thay replaced it with methanol had reason to believe it would be a suitable substitute for whatever purpose the ethanol was supposed to be used to clean. then some stupid shithead said "hey that's ethanol" and repurposed it for consumption because it was on a five finger discount.
