Why did they choose this ratio and not the inverse??
If I say "If you take 5 times the active dose you die", or "If you take 100 times the active does you die", this makes sense. But with 0.2 and 0.01 nobody can quickly get it.

If you take 0.2 times the lethal dose you don't die

Because this way it makes the graph more intuitive so damage extends along both axes

.2 means 5x

Says active dose over lethal so 1/5 = .2

How does alcohol have a 0.1 Active dose/lethal dose? One drink gets me slightly buzzed, but 10 drinks won't kill me. Unless they take "active dose" to mean "gets you completely drunk", in which case it might be true

Lethal dose of ethanol is about 400ml.
That's equal to 5 liters of 8% beer. One tenth then would be 500ml ( approximately 1 pint).
Seems legit to me.

Get pure alcohol.
The same amount as you have in 10 drinks.
Inject it by way of IV.

Normally your liver is working hard to get alcohol out of your system so 10 drinks in a night won't kill you.
But if you consume it in a way that can get the whole dose in your body instantly, you are fucked.

Also the chart makes Nitrous oxide seem worse than caffeine.
Nitrous fucks with your B12 which can cause pretty severe problems.

Its alright.
