Swanky's link says the LD50 (average lethal dose) of aluminum is 500 grams or about half a pound. Google tells me the LD50 for copper is about 10 pounds and the LD50 for nickel is about 20 times that. The ironic thing is that we are worried about the toxicity of the cups when we are filling them with alcohol, a substance known to be much more toxic than any of these metals :lol: :wink:
