Forty percent would unquestionably be fatal. Four percent is the LD50 level for alcohol, where 50% of the people with that level would be expected to die.

About 10 percent of all alcohol eliminated by the body comes from where?

About 10 percent of all alcohol eliminated by the body comes from the lungs through exhalation. This process is the basis for breathalyzer tests, which measure the concentration of alcohol in the breath as a reflection of blood alcohol levels. The remaining alcohol is metabolized primarily by the liver, with small amounts eliminated through urine and sweat.


Why can't Fermentation produce an alcohol content above fifthteen percent?

Yeast cells are living organisms and therefore are killed off by the increasing levels of alcohol during fermentation. Some super yeast strains exist which can tolerate higher levels of alcohol but are rare. As fermentation proceeds and alcohol levels increase the yeast gets stressed out and can produce unwanted flavour compounds. Eg. Higher levels of esters found during high gravity fermentation's. Be nice to your yeast.


Alcohol use is considered to be a problem if what occurs?

Death can occur if alcohol dramatically changes blood pH levels. You see, blood has a very small pH range, and alcohol has acid-forming properties. When you drink too much alcohol, your blood pH levels increase dramatically, while your phosphate levels decrease, leading to death. If you are asking for long-term effects, alcohol could be a problem in the long run if it led to liver cancer and alcoholism.

What is the accuracy of saliva alcohol tests?

Saliva alcohol tests are generally considered to be accurate for detecting recent alcohol consumption within a few hours. However, the accuracy may be affected by factors such as the timing of the test relative to alcohol consumption, individual variations in saliva alcohol levels, and the sensitivity of the testing device used. Overall, saliva alcohol tests can provide a useful indication of recent alcohol use but may not be as precise as blood alcohol tests.


Can scram pick up 5 percent of alcohol?

Yes, a scram device can detect alcohol levels, including picking up as low as 0.02% blood alcohol concentration (BAC), which is equivalent to about 0.5 grams of alcohol per liter of blood. However, a scram device typically measures much lower levels than 5% alcohol, which is significantly higher than the legal driving limit in most jurisdictions. Therefore, while a scram can detect alcohol consumption, it is not designed to measure high concentrations like 5% alcohol.
