Let the ED50 of a recreational drug be defined as the amount required for 50% of a test group to feel high or get a buzz. If the ED50 value of ethanol is 470 mg/kg body mass, what dose would a 70 kg party goer need to quickly consume in order to have a 50% chance of getting a buzz?If a bottle of beer contains about 13.9 g of ethanol, how many bottles of beer would a 70 kg party goer need to consume in order to have a 50% chance of getting a buzz?

If the lethal dose (LD50) for ethanol is 4,700 mg/kg, how many bottles of beer would a 70 kg party goer need to chug in order to have a 50% chance of dying?

A one liter bottle of Jack Daniels contains about 356 g of ethanol. How many 1.0 liter bottles of this whiskey would a 70 kg party goer need to chug in order to have a 50% chance of dying?

Explanation:

1) The ED50 value of ethanol = 470 mg per kg of person body = 470 mg/kg

Mass of person = 70 kg

Amount of ethanol required by person of 70 kg to get buzz:

A 70 kg party goer need to quickly consume in order to have a 50% chance of getting a buzz is 32,900 mg of ethanol.

Mass of ethanol in beer bottle = 13.9 g

Amount of ethanol required by person of 70 kg to get buzz:

1 mg = 0.001 mg

Bottles of beer would a 70 kg party goer need to consume:

Bottles of beer would a 70 kg party goer need to consume a 50% chance of getting a buzz is 2.

2)The LD50 value of ethanol = 4,700 mg per kg of person body = 4,700 mg/kg

Mass of person = 70 kg

Amount of ethanol required by person of 70 kg  to have a 50% chance of dying:

A 70 kg party goer need to quickly consume in order to have a 50% chance of dying is 329,000 mg of ethanol.

Mass of ethanol in Jack Daniels bottle = 356 g

Amount of ethanol required by person of 70 kg  to have a 50% chance of dying:

1 mg = 0.001 mg

Bottles of Jack Daniels would a 70 kg party goer need to consume to have a 50% chance of dying:

Bottles of  Jack Daniels would a 70 kg party goer need to consume to have a 50% chance of dying is 1.
