Why did toxic buildup of ethanol inside the cell caused the yeast cell to die?

It denatures proteins and forms miscellular structures attaching to lipids. This about the concentrations though. If they can stand 15% ethanol that's 1 part ethanol for every 5 parts water, roughly. That's a lot.

ethanol or methanol
What is intestinal dysbiosis?
poor intestinal health quality due to toxic buildup, putrefaction, and leaky gut syndrome.
Is alcohol a neurotoxin?
"Alchohol" is just a subgroup of organic chemicals, and yes some are very toxic, also to neurons. But assume you mean ethanol, and yes it is toxic, not as toxic as methanol and ethylene glycol, but much more toxic than most other drugs of abuse. When you take other substances you ingest say 100 mg = 0.1 grams, when you drink 10 bears, you ingest 10 x 12,000 mg of ethanol. Just that fact puts an enormous load on your liver and liver damage is indirectly neurotoxic, but as ethanol passes the Blood Brain Barrier a quite nasty organic solvent are let loose on the innermost sanctum of your brain and no cells can survive prolonged exposure to ethanol (even yeast cells die when the concentration of ethanol reaches around 14.5& volume/volume) and that includes neurons, so yes, ethanol is definitely neurotoxic.
What hazard warning sign should appear on a bottle of ethanol?
Ethanol is ethyl alcohol. The hazard warnings would be primarily "FLAMMABLE" and also "TOXIC". "VOLATILE" could also be used.

Is it true that ethanol creates a toxic waste that must be stored forever?
No. Ethanol is toxic, but it breaks down naturally. Our bodies can even metabolize it in low doses. It is the alcohol in alcoholic drinks. Ethanol can also be burned as fuel with no more danger than you would get from any other fire.
Why 70 percent ethanol is used for sterilization instead of 100 percent?
70% ethanol has been shown to have the highest killing ability of microbes. Also, 100% ethanol is toxic to the user

Why is perspiration caused?
I do believe perspiration (a.k.a. sweat) is caused because the body is trying to get rid of the toxic gases and other bad things inside the body. I do hope this helps.
Is the liquid you use to make a flambe toxic?
I don't know what liquid you use to make a flambe, but most cooks use brandy or some other form of distilled spirits.Technically, ethanol is toxic, so the answer is "yes," but on the other hand, it's not that toxic, and much of the ethanol burns away anyway.
What are the effects of the regular consumption of ethanol?
You begin asking questions about the weird affectations you have begun experiencing. It produces toxic (deadly chemicals) inside your body - by the liver most particularly. Hopefully, you can relate your experiences to others before your demise. http://scifun.chem.wisc.edu/chemweek/pdf/ethanol.pdf
What is intestinal dysbiosis?
poor intestinal health quality due to toxic buildup, putrefaction, and leaky gut syndrome.
Why is the poison ethylene glycol treated with massive dosses of ethanol?
Because ethylene glycol is converted into its toxic metabolites in the body, and the 1st step in this process is by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). Ethanol is a much less toxic substrate of the enzyme and effectively acts as a competitive inhibitor.
