The units for dosage are typically given as mg/kg. Both are units of weight, but it means mass of the drug per mass of the patient's weight. The LD50 (lethal dosage, 50%: the dose at which 50% of lab rats die when given this dosage. Dosages at or above this level are considered lethal.) of drinking alcohol, or ethanol, is about 7 g/kg. If a 180-pound man were to drink half a 750 mL bottle of vodka that is 40% alcohol by volume, has he drunk a potentially lethal dosage of ethanol? The density of ethanol is 0.789 g/mL.
