Pathophysiology[edit]

The list of alcohol levels are all out by a factor of 10. 5 lots of 8 grams divided by 5 litres of blood is 8 grams per litre, 0.8 g/dL, or 800 mg/dL. The confusion arises because the reference 22 ("Alcohol & Public Health: Fact Sheets - Binge Drinking") uses the unit "grams percent" - this can only be grams per centilitre. This is the first time I've tried contributing to a Wikipedia page and don't want to do the live editing since I might foul it up - so can someone else do the actual edit. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ExtremePedant (talkcontribs) 09:00, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

After further research I've discovered that the blood alcohol levels are correct. The calculation takes complete body fluids into account. This means that "grams percent" makes even less sense than I thought. No edits need to be made to the main page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ExtremePedant (talkcontribs) 05:47, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hyperlinks to this article[edit]

There is an active RfC underway on the Whisky talk page as to whether the article will include links to the Alcohol Intoxication wikipedia article, and similar articles Specifically: Should the whisky article provide direct links to articles about the effects of ethanol on those who consume whisky? Here is a proposed sentence with hyperlinks: Some effects of whisky consumption are due to its alcohol content. See: Alcohol intoxication, Short-term effects of alcohol consumption, Long-term effects of alcohol, and Alcohol and health. sbelknap (talk) 21:19, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Need writer‘s (or anyone who's familiar with this article) elaboration in the part of ===Religious views===[edit]

"Islamic schools of law (Madh'hab) have interpreted this as a strict prohibition of the consumption of all types of alcohol and declared it to be haraam ("forbidden"), although other uses may be permitted.[67]" I'm not sure I understand the wordings in bold type (especially other uses), can anybody help elaborate? Thanks. I'm now translating this article into Traditional Chinese.ThomasYehYeh (talk) 11:21, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Negative effects[edit]

Is it not biased to list these effects as specifically negative over simply toxicological effects? 2A01:4C8:485:F263:8CBD:D27C:816B:65C0 (talk) 09:32, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
