    Oddly enough, the ld50(how much to kill half the people who would drink it) is well over a gallon for gasoline.

    Not that it wouldn’t cause problems, but he would be alive if he drank all of that.

    *edit- I’m getting conflicting results on this, now. Some sources have the ld50 at less than a quart for an adult.

      I’m pretty bad at estimating anything, but those are 5 large glasses (albeit not fully filled), surely he’s at least approaching a gallon, if not more?

        Those cups look to each have about 20 ounces in them, so about 100 oz total.

        However, I just went to double check and I’m getting conflicting results on the amount to ld50, now. It may be as low as 14 ounces for an adult.
