●People very early understood that the active principles in wine
had possible positive effects on the patients.
●And they also knew that raisins, nectars, flowers,roots and stuff
could be put into wine and their benefits would be extracted more
properly.
●Before the advancement of benefit, wine was the only available
medicine. For instance, a substitute for anesthetics.
●Wine and other fermented beverages were consumed in the diluted
form.
○Besides water, it was the only drink.
●Even during the olden times wine was encouraged to be used
moderately.
●Because water was not purified then, the alcoholic beverages were
in fact more sager to consume.
●Yeasts produces more than just alcohol, for instance, vitamin B
and other vitamins.
●Because of high caloric contents of alcohol, it is actually like
food.
●When taken in, the alcohol should be processed first, and then
the carbohydrates.
●The carbohydrate so will turn to fat.
●One standard spirit drink is 80 calories.
○Red wine is 125, white 121, dessert wine 165, soda 136.

●Wine generally, because used at home, does not then involve many
DUIs, at only 2%.
●Absorption vs. metabolism:
○Absorption is the movement of alcohol into the body.
○Metabolism is the breakdown of alcohol to other compounds,
in order to eliminate it.
●Alcohol is absorbed into small intestine and stomach, at 80 and
20%.
●Alcohol is broken down 20% in stomach and 80% in liver.
○Around 3% is excreted.
●The liver is the only organ that can produce enzymes to oxidize
alcohol.
●Around 10 million years ago, the apes went through a gene
mutation of ADH4 that metabolized ethanol at higher rates.
○This happened when the fruits were rotten and had yeast and
ethanol.
●That trait was then inherited by humans through million of years.
●And what causes fatty acid? Liver processes alcohol first. So the
carbohydrate will get stored as fat.
●Because of biological differences, women will be easier
influenced by alcohol.
●What factors affect the absorption of alcohol?
