 | | Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research 10(6)(Suppl): 55S-63S, 1986. | | | With respect to its broader scientific application, metabolism, which has long been studied, is emerging with new implications for the study of alcoholism and its medical consequences. | | | As this Alcohol Alert explains, by understanding alcohol metabolism, we can learn how the body can dispose of alcohol and discern some of the factors that influence this process. |

| | The logic is, if you can prevent any alcohol that's still in the stomach from getting into the blood supply, it may save your life. | | | Second, it takes a while for all the alcohol in the stomach to travel out of the gastrointestinal system and into the blood supply, where it then reaches the brain and other organs. | | | Vomiting is an attempt to eliminate any unabsorbed alcohol. |

| | According to the second theory, the popular etymology and the spelling "alcohol" would not be due to generalization of the meaning of ALKHL, but rather to Western alchemists and authors confusing the two words ALKHL and ALGhWL, which have indeed been transliterated in many different and overlapping ways. | | | Some other techniques exist to convert alkenes to alcohols more reliably. | | | This sense underlies the term alcoholism (addiction to alcohol). |
