    A quick search suggests that blood is 80% water. Turning that into wine at a weak concentration of 5.5% results in around at 14.5% BAC which is over 10 times greater than the highest ever recorded, so it would be certainly lethal.

      Wine is 80-90% water, but all that alcohol and other flavor compounds directly in your bloodstream would not be good.

        Pretty much immediately. You wouldn’t even know it.

        Acidic pH like wine denatures proteins. It would destroy you on the cellular level, basic cell functions would cease to work. You could say it would stop your breathing or cause an instant heart attack, but it would be more like as if it fried your brain and heart like an egg in an instant.

          The brain isn’t bathed in blood though, because of the blood-brain barrier. So if we’re limiting to only the blood turning to wine, it’ll take a couple seconds of excruciating pain before the brain goes night-night from lack of oxygen.

            Yeah, but there is water in every brain cell as well.

            If all the water goes, every cell goes simultaneously.

        I have a different question. How much wine extract can i add to the water in my body to be able to correctly state i exist out of 80% wine and still live.

          That’s much easier. If you weigh 100kg (220lb) it’s W/(100 + W) = 0.8, and solving for W gives 400.

          If you eat 400 kg of wine powder then 80% of your mass will be wine.

          This will kill you, and it doesn’t actually matter what powder you choose to eat.

            You are saying that you would have to eat four times your body weight of wine powder to turn your blood into wine. That doesn’t make sense.

              It kinda does its just not what you expected (and not what the question meant). In a 500kg mixture of you (100kg) and wine (400kg), exactly 80% of that mixture is wine and 20% is you.

              To answer the actually question you’d need to know how much extract you need to turn 1L of blood into 1L of wine and I’m to lazy for that math.

      You somehow didn’t answer the question, and the thing you said instead is completely obvious to anyone.

      If there’s a cousin of Jesus that turns people’s brains into porridge, you’ve certainly been on the receiving end of that power.
