And that much is basically poisonous, right?

Or does it depend on the type of alcohol chemical?

All forms of alcohol are toxic. The problem with less dilution is that there's less standing between it and your blood/liver/etc. Just as if you eat with your drinks you'll feel the effects less, a mug of beer will go along better than a shot with the same alcohol content.

No, you could drink it a ton of it and not get sick beyond the results of drinking the same amount of pure alcohol (we're talking regular ethanol), diluted by water. Technically.

The problem is that mucous membranes don't exactly see eye to eye with alcohol that concentrated, so actually transporting it to your stomach would be the problematic part, you'd need to drink small amounts very fast, otherwise you'd irritate your throat.

100% alcohol can be unsafe to drink for another reason: to go beyond 96% you need to use a chemical dessicant, since distillation no longer works, and the dessicant may be toxic.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

I meant like ethanol vs. isopropyl or whatever.
