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).
Large quantities of alcohol can be very dangerous when ingested over a short period of time. When the body attempts to manage intake of quantities of alcohol beyond what the liver can process, alcohol poisoning is likely to result.
