Meths is the lowest of the low drinks-wise.
I don't know how to explain it, but you can get pissed on meths or use it to strip wallpaper. And it's v. dangerous.
It's what you drink when you are in the gutter.

Meths is methylated spirit, or in layman's terms spoiled ethanol mixed with methanol. For an apt illustation of how low you'd have to stoop to be a meths drinker, watch 'Withnail and I'. There is a drinking game people have invented to accompany the film (you'd be mad to try it) which involves attempting to match Withnail drink for drink. I believe a shot of meths is the replacement for the moment Withnail drinks lighter fluid, the latter being too dangerous:
Marwood: Not even the wankers on the site would drink that. That's worse than meths.
Withnail: Nonsense. This is a far superior drink to meths. The wankers don't drink it because they can't afford it.
Withnail: [having just drunk a bottle of lighter fluid] Got any more?
Marwood: No. I have nothing.
Withnail: Liar. What's in your toolbox.
Marwood: Nothing.
Withnail: Liar. You've got antifreeze.
Marwood: You bloody fool. You should never mix your drinks.
I realise it's over-quoted by the student population, but it remains an awesome film, and judging by the title of a certain Morrissey album, one he likes too.

that's why Absinth got on the forbidden goodies list
There was too much inferior stuff, which even came close to Absinth
It became from a accentric drink to a low-life favourit

Hideous trait.
Menthol cigs could quite possibly be the worst smell ever on someone's breath...

indeed, but not in the ghetto's of Paris and London late 1800, early 1900
[especially in France]
Now I can confess that I thought he said "maths on their breasts"
But again, I'm not a native-speaker, I can always use it as an excuse...

WOOOOOOOO!!!!!
http://www.songmeanings.net/ was not a big help in this case but usually its a decent place to see what the hell is going on in a song when you do not have a clue or want to see what other people think.

Hideous trait.
I love Songmeanings.net- I have the Morrissey and Smiths pages bookmarked so I can quickly get to them. Great resource.
