and none of the above links backs up your claim that "80% of cars in
Brasil run on locally-produced ethanol"

Your ignorance is showing. You denature alchohol, and thus, are not
making alchohol that falls under the various drink related laws. One way
of denaturing ethanol, is to mix a percentage of methanol into it, feel
free to drink all you want. Better make an eye appointment first, it
won't help, but they can also fit you for a cane and dark glasses at the
same time.

Yes, "industrial ethanol" is, was, and has been, legal to produce in
these united states.
