What is Ethanol: Effects and Metabolism Explained about?
Ethanol is the most widely abused drug that acts as a depressant on the central nervous system rather than a stimulant. It is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach and intestines and is metabolized through oxidation by alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes, with acetaldehyde accumulation causing hangovers. Antabuse is sometimes given to alcoholics to prevent drinking by interfering with this metabolic process.
