Is the Osmolal Concentration of Ethanol Greater Than Its Molar Concentration?

Background: Recent data suggested that the osmolal gap attributed to ethanol as determined by the difference between measured serum osmolality and calculated serum osmolarity is greater than its molar concentration. The increased osmotic activity of ethanol is thought to be due to its binding to wat...
