Lol, basically your brain’s on a wild rollercoaster 😂

🛑The chemical name for alcohol is ethanol (CH3CH2OH). 📍The body processes and eliminates ethanol in separate steps. 📍Chemicals called enzymes help to break apart the ethanol molecule into other compounds (or metabolites), which can be processed more easily by the body. 📍Some of these intermediate metabolites can have harmful effects on the body. 📍Most of the ethanol in the body is broken down in the liver by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), which transforms ethanol into a toxic compound called acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), a known carcinogen. 📍However, acetaldehyde is generally short-lived; it is quickly broken down to a less toxic compound called acetate (CH3COO-) by another enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). 📍Acetate then is broken down to carbon dioxide and water, mainly in tissues other than the liver.

It does nothing good to the body.
