    These numbers look very questionable. Twice as much salt as alcohol to kill someone? I’m sorry but I call bullshit.

      Why would salt be more lethal than alcohol? You have a lot of water to displace to deal with it, and you can drink yet more water to do so as it will take a while to effect you.

      Alcohol is just poison and the act of processing it does damage. Drinking water to dilute it is less effective as it kills pretty fast.
