N2  - We are concerned with the frequency of potentially lethal ethanol intoxications (about 1 pint of hard liquor) in teenagers. We present 2 illustrative cases, discuss the acute toxicity of ethanol, and present 2 simple calculating charts for dosage and kinetics. The widespread use and economic impact of ethanol have kept this potent sedative-hypnotic free of the same federal regulations that control the availability of other drugs with a similar potency and margin of safety.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
