Chemists: "Ethanol is quite poisonous, so don't drink it."

Meanwhile, humans have built entire industries, social rituals, and weekend plans around consuming precisely that toxin.

Classic human behavior - ignoring scientific warnings when they interfere with having a good time. The LD50 is just a suggestion, apparently.
