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.

It's considered high humidity, and anything above 50%.


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.


What is BAC levels?

Blood Alcohol Content. How much alcohol is in your blood.


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.


Can methyl alcohol or similar chemicals increase blood alcohol levels?

Blood alcohol refers to ethanol. Methyl alcohol will enter the bloodstream and be metabolized by the liver into formaldehyde (embalming fluid) which is a deadly poison. Oddly, the only antidote to methanol poisoning is ethyl alcohol, which slows down the liver's metabolism of the methanol and MAY allow it to clear from the body without killing you. The most common side-effects of methyl alcohol poisoning -- apart from death -- are blindness and kidney failure.
