Can alcohol be digested?
Alcohol is not digested:- Alcohol is absorbed directly into the blood stream, about 30% through the stomach wall, and the rest from the small intestine. Human beings and their intestinal bacteria do not possess the necessary enzymes to break alcohol down. Alcohol therefore accumulates in the blood. Alcohol, once in the blood stream / body must be oxidized to get rid of it. Alcohol can only be oxidized in the liver, where enzymes are found to initiate the process. The first step in the metabolism of alcohol is the oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde which is catalyzed by alcohol/dehydrogenase containing the coenzyme NAD+. The acetaldehyde is then oxidized to acetic acid and finally to CO2 and water through the citric acid cycle. A number of the side effects from alcohol are directly linked to the production of an excess of both NADH and acetaldehyde.
