Alcohol is a neurotoxin, anesthetic, and depressant. In sufficient quantities, it is fatal. The lethal dose varies with individuals. It can be as little as 0.30% blood alcohol content by volume, or as high (in rare cases) as 0.60. To put it in perspective, if a person with no alcohol tolerance chugged a liter of vodka and was able to keep it down, it would almost certainly kill them.
Anybody can become ill because of alcohol. When a person overdoses on alcohol, it is known as alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning can result in death if too severe and left untreated.
Yes, it can kill a plant within weeks. Do no try to water a plant with rubbing alcohol unless you expect to kill it.
Yes, you can get alcohol poisoning from any percentage of alcohol. The high concentration makes it easier to get poisoned with little time for you body to react to the danger. It also depends on what KIND of alcohol it is. Isopropyl alcohol or any other kind of medical/industrial type (which you CAN actually get in 100%) is dangerous in any concentration. Even drinking a small amount like a small sized bottle can harm or kill you. Now if you are talking about drinkable alcohols (such as grain or anything like that) then yes it can also kill you, but no more than any other alcoholic drink. With these kinds of alcohols it simply becomes what AMOUNT you drink. Hell beer can kill you, but its generally too difficult to physically drink enough to have severe effects because they only have something like 5-10% alcohol content. But there are PLENTY of 150+ proof (which would be 75% and up, proof is simply double the percentage) alcohols like Bacardi 151. Some forms of Absinthe have also been known to be upwards of 90% alcohol content (the hallucinogenic effect is NOT however from the alcohol its from the Wormwood). So theoretically (if a 100% alcohol safe for consumption were available) it wouldnt kill you unless you drank enough to make your blood toxic, it would however be much easier to drink too much and kill yourself with that high of alcohol content.
Alcohol contains ethanol, which is the main psychoactive ingredient. It does not contain any specific "posins" in the normal sense of the word. However, excessive consumption of alcohol can lead to poisoning and harmful effects on the body.
Hand sanitizers work by using alcohol (typically ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol) to kill germs and bacteria on the hands. The alcohol disrupts the outer membrane of the microbes, causing them to die. It is important to use hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol to effectively kill most germs.
