An alcoholic drink contains methanol (CH3OH; density of 0.792 g/mL), in which at high dosage, is lethal. If an average person weighs 55.0 kg and drinks 2.00 L and drinks 2.00 L of that alcoholic drink, what is the highest % v/v concentration of methanol in that alcoholic drink for it to be safe if minimum lethal dose is around 0.300 g/kg of body weight?
