That's completely wrong. Lanolin is oily stuff that comes from sheep
fleeces, "wood alcohol" is methanol.

Erm wood and wool are two entirely different things.

My initial reaction was that lanolin isnt an alcohol but
when I checked its more complicated than that.

Mind you I have never heard of wool alcohol typo and the poster is correct
or something that exists and I have just not heard of it.

Yeah, I hadn't but have now.
