Document Summary

Can be converted into fat if there is too much of it: sources (vary in alcohol and caloric content): beer, wine, distilled spirits, liqueurs, cordials, hard cider. All have the same active ingredient, ethanol, but they have different. 12 oz beer, 10 oz wine cooler, 5 oz wine, or 1. 5 oz hard liquor concentrations and flavors: standard drink = 15 g of alcohol, moderate intake. When oxygen is limited, yeast consumes carbohydrates through anaerobic respiration (glycolysis) and converts them to ethanol and carbon dioxide: the creation of ethanol as a waste product allows regeneration of. Humans do a similar process when oxygen is limited lactic: distillation, after a certain amount of ethanol accumulates, the yeast are killed. Absorption and transport: alcohol is absorbed throughout gi tract by simple diffusion. 80% in duodenum and jejunum: readily dispersed throughout the body. Used in case of low to moderate intakes. Some metabolism occurs in stomach, but mostly in liver.
