For adults, give them an initial “loading dose” of 1.8 mL of spirits (spirits with a minimum of 33% (86-proof) ethanol content) per 1 kg of body weight (i.e., for a 70 kg adult, administer three 42 mL shots) of spirits such as vodka, gin, or whisky, with a maintenance dose of 0.40 mL/kg per hour. (i.e., for a 70 kg adult, one 42 mL shot per hour).  To simplify:  for an average-sized adult weighing 70kg, administer a loading dose of 126mL up-front, and 28ml/hour thereafter.
