Levels of even less than 0.1% can cause intoxication, with unconsciousness often occurring at 0.3–0.4%. [17] Death from ethanol consumption is possible when blood alcohol levels reach 0.4%. A blood level of 0.5% or more is commonly fatal. The oral median lethal dose (LD 50) of ethanol in rats is 5,628 mg/kg. Directly translated to human ...
