ethanol is not safe. One serious problem with ethanol
consumption is how the quantity is conveyed to the
consumer. For example, American malt liquor can be sold
pure ethanol:
mL
in 23.5 fl. oz. (695 mL) cans and is 12% volume per volume
(v/v) ethanol.
Although these cans are labeled as containing multiple
servings, many young people consider one can to be a
single serving. Drinking two cans of this beverage can
result in an accidental overdose of ethanol.
Two cans may not seem like much until you do the math.
