==Toxicity== With respect to acute toxicity, simple alcohols have low acute [[toxic]]ities. Doses of several milliliters are tolerated. For [[pentanol]]s, [[hexanol]]s, [[octanol]]s, and longer alcohols, [[LD50]] range from 2β5 g/kg (rats, oral). Ethanol is less acutely toxic.<ref>Ethanol toxicity</ref> All alcohols are mild skin irritants.<ref name="Falbe"/> Methanol and ethylene glycol are more toxic than other simple alcohols. Their metabolism is affected by the presence of ethanol, which has a higher affinity for [[liver alcohol dehydrogenase]]. In this way, [[methanol]] will be excreted intact in urine.<ref name="Schep-2009">{{cite journal |vauthors=Schep LJ, Slaughter RJ, Vale JA, Beasley DM |title=A seaman with blindness and confusion |journal=[[BMJ]]|volume=339 |pages=b3929 |date=30 September 2009|url=http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/339/sep30_1/b3929|doi=10.1136/bmj.b3929|pmid=19793790|s2cid=6367081 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Zimmerman | first1 = HE | last2 = Burkhart | first2 = KK | last3 = Donovan | first3 = JW | title = Ethylene glycol and methanol poisoning: diagnosis and treatment | journal = Journal of Emergency Nursing | volume = 25 | issue = 2 | pages = 116β20 | year = 1999 | pmid = 10097201 | doi = 10.1016/S0099-1767(99)70156-X }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Lobert | first1 = S | title = Ethanol, isopropanol, methanol, and ethylene glycol poisoning | journal = Critical Care Nurse | volume = 20 | issue = 6 | pages = 41β7 | year = 2000 | pmid = 11878258 | doi = 10.4037/ccn2000.20.6.41 }}</ref>
