ELI5: The difference between one 30% alcohol beverage and three 10% alcohol beverages

Further info, why is one 100% alcoholic beverage posionous but 10 10% beverages fine?

Assuming the volume of all drinks are the same, the difference is the amount of non-alcohol you consume between them.

If you drank three ten oz. drinks with 10% ABV each, you'd have consumed 3 oz. of alcohol but 27 oz. of non alcohol.

If you drank one 10 oz. drink with 30% ABV, you'd still consume 3 oz. of alcohol but only 7 oz. of non-alcohol.

Drinking three drinks would probably take you longer, too.
