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).
The Greater the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC), the Greater the Risk of Being Involved in a Fatal Crash. Young drivers between the ages of 16 to 19 with a BAC of 0.02 to 0.05 percent (one to two drinks) are at least seven times more likely to be killed in a crash than a sober driver of any age.
