For example, if you drink one liter of vodka over an hour, you will probably suffer at leas major alcohol poisoning. If you try do that in one minute, you will, in all likelyhood, throw everything up and will be very uncomfortable, maybe a bit tipsy, but otherwise alright. | |

| May 31, 2018 at 22:36 | comment | added | Bill K | This isn't an exact answer but relative--LSD has a stronger effect on larger bodies--I don't think there are any (maybe 1?) examples of humans overdosing, but they gave a "human" dose to an elephant and it killed it. I don't think any amount has an effect on small animals like mice. This is very old research I did pre-internet and may be disproven by now. | |

"While any amount of current over 10 milliamps (0.01 amp) is capable of producing painful to severe shock, currents between 100 and 200 mA (0.1 to 0.2 amp) are lethal. Currents above 200 milliamps (0.2 amp), while producing severe burns and unconsciousness, do not usually cause death if the victim is given immediate attention. Resuscitation, consisting of artificial respiration, will usually revive the victim." from this site: physics.ohio-state.edu/~p616/safety/fatal_current.html | |
