Alcohol Metabolism

To the tune of "Lavender Haze" by Taylor Swift
Alcohol travels to
The stomach where some is taken in
The rest is absorbed into
The bloodstream by the small intestine

Alcohol metabolism (yeah, oh yeah)
By the liver has limitations (yeah, oh yeah)
Above this comes intoxication (yeah, oh yeah)

Alcohols will all contain
Ethanol
As their primary active ingredient
It's a small
And relatively simple molecule
So it quickly gains access to the brain

Alcohol is metabolized
By alcohol dehydrogenase
Making acetaldehyde
Which is broken down by ALDH

Acetic acid is produced (yeah, oh yeah)
And further broken down into (yeah, oh yeah)
Water and CO2 (yeah, oh yeah)

Alcohols will all contain
Ethanol
As their primary active ingredient
It's a small
And relatively simple molecule
So it quickly gains access to the brain

Alcohol tips the balance
To favour inhibition
Increasing function of
Neurotransmitters like GABA
Alcohol tips the balance
To favour inhibition
Increasing function of
Neurotransmitters like GABA

Alcohols will all contain
Ethanol
As their primary active ingredient
It's a small
And relatively simple molecule
So it quickly gains access to the brain

Increasing function of
Neurotransmitters like GABA
Access to the brain
So it quickly gains
Access to the brain
