In humans (n = 10) infused with 1.0â1.3 mmol sodium dl-lactate/(kg Â· h), â¼90% of d-lactate was metabolized, and 10% excreted in the urine (12). At higher infusion rates of 3.0â4.6 mmol/(kg Â· h), metabolism decreased to â¼75% of overall clearance (12).
Deaths from alcohol poisoning as a contributing cause peaked for those between ages 35 and 44 (average age at death was 39.9 years). When the age-specific rate was calculated using deaths with any mention of alcohol poisoning, the rate was highest at ages 35 to 44 (1.33 deaths per 100,000 population).
Alcohol poisoning happens when there is too much alcohol in the bloodstream. When a person continues to drink alcohol, the amount of alcohol eventually reaches levels that cause alcohol poisoning. However, there is no set number of alcoholic beverages that will cause alcohol poisoning in a person. For example, a 24-year-old male may have alcohol poisoning after 20 drinks in one hour but for another male the same age, it may take 30 drinks in one hour for alcohol poisoning to take place.
