Hi All! At about 10:29 when I pointed to aldehyde dehydrogenase I accidentally said "alcohol dehydrogenase." I meant to say "aldehyde dehydrogenase." Pointed to the correct thing, but didn't quite come out right 😂
Also, some people have asked, what is considered a "drink"? Below is what is considered a standard drink in the United States:
14 to 15 grams of alcohol or about 0.5 to 0.6 ounces, which is equivalent to 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, and 1.5 ounces of 80 proof liquor.
Thank you for watching!
What do you think of only drinking sake as the only source of alcohol?
Can you explain medical marijuana? Is it necessary? Is it good for the body?
Gracias a usted por darnos mucho conocimiento del nuestro cuerpo👏👍💜
magic shrooms over alcohol
@@crichard1815 try fasting 24hrs once a week. So basically decide which day of the week you can take off from eating and only drink 6oz of water at every hour. And by doing this weekly it should slowly fix the issues you are having. And you should feel a slight or so difference after the day you spent fasting but give it a shot for 6 months and report back here I’ll see your notifications

Congratulations 🎊
@@hildaklotz5592cringe. Just quit alcohol altogether and do weed instead.
I stopped drinking alcohol 40 years ago, and that was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life.
I started drinking alcohol since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting alcohol addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Alcohol addiction actually destroyed my life. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Congrats! I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you. I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
I have never really liked drinking alcohol, and mainly drank socially with friends in my 20s. As I've gotten older, I barely drink at all. I don't need it to loosen up or relax, and I dislike how it makes me feel afterward as it disrupts my sleep. It's kind of overrated to me.
Ditto
im an irish lad in his 20s, never drank not planning to. Just not worth it imo and i personally dont need to have fun
Cause it's literal toxens that your body is trying to flush out. There's nothing healthy about it. I used to drink socially with friends and at family parties, but I've abstained from it for a while now. Alcohol always made me feel rough and I hated the hangovers it gave me. I'm better off without it tbh.
Hmm I'm in my 30s here soon and never drank like anything just out of fear from what I've seen from family and friends. If I could I'd avoid people who drink alcohol but gl with that...
@@XZ-III You can always hangout just order non-alcoholic drinks. Nobody is going to care or even know if you're discreet.
Ive stopped alcohol completely 😊 i do feel like having a drink right now. But im letting it pass. Each day i decide, today im taking care of myself and wont have alcohol, sigerettes ect. And before you know it, weeks passed, months,...just one day at a time.
Congratulations! ❤
Well done, keep going, one day at a time; 12 years sober and smoke free here using that very same method.
Thank you Friend!
Thank You Friend!
Oh thanks for the encouragement, I much appreciate it 😊 I really thought I wouldn't succeed because i failed stopoing many times. Struggled to maintain it longer than 3 weeks. But I'm managing it good now. People can even drink in front of me now, I can even smell it without it making me want to drink. I can enjoy going out without drinking too. Never would have thought that before I started. I thought it would be difficult for like a year, but after a few weeks it already started to be easyer. So if you struggle, know once you've passed the hard part it gets easyer and all it takes is maintaining it. You don't have to suffer or feel you deny yourself something. It feels like selfcare NOT drinking for me now. Before idd reward myself with a drink. Now I see I was self harming by drinking. And guilt and shame was self-harm too, drinking is punishment for our body enough. No need for shame and guilt. (Shame and guilt can be a sabotaging spiral) Today is today and today I decide not to drink. 😊 this seems to work for me. I've been trying for years for a way that worked. Turns out being hard for myself didn't work but actually being kind to myself and setting healthy boundaries do. For anyone who reads, don't give up. Find what works for you, because you deserve it. ✨️
I am a recovering alcoholic and six months ago I spent two weeks in the hospital with kidney and respiratory failure. I was in a coma on life support and the hospital had "the talk" with my family, not expecting me to live . My creatinine level was 15. I also had major hallucinations prior to going to hospital. I had no idea I was doing such damage to my body. It is so hard to stop drinking but my doctor prescribed Naltrexone and it really helps. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Congratulations on taking the steps necessary to help yourself! ❤️ Lately I think we have an alcohol epidemic, where almost everyone seems to drink almost every day. It’s such a normal and expected part of our culture (in the US anyway) that anyone who doesn’t drink alcohol is considered unusual and typically automatically assumed to have an alcohol use problem. I cannot imagine how hard it must be to fight this, not only from within but also from all of the incessant reminders from society and your surroundings. Keep going with making your mental and physical health a priority! ❤❤❤
How is it possible it is 2024 and you didnt know alcohol is dangerous to the body (or ar least the brauin)?
One day at a time. Keep coming back.
My family member almost died 2 times.
Sharon! Good for you!!! You’re not alone. Be encouraged today. Thank you for sharing. 💜☀️☕️
Lemme buy you a drink to celebrate.
When my dad was dying, I was drinking way more than I should have to cope. I stopped and lost 6lbs. I think we tend to be in denial on what it does to our body over time. Even my face and skin have changed.
Sorry to hear about your dad❤️
@@theanatomylab😢
@@theanatomylab thank you
Awesome
Really. You observed changes. Great.
I have a serious alcohol problem, which I have been struggling with ever since I was young. Now I'm 53 and I haven't had any alcohol for 4 or 5 years.
I'm struggling with a lot of problems. Sometimes I feel like I just need a break from my life .... and a bottle of something. 😖
But this kind of video helps me a lot. It reminds me how terrible everything was, when I was drinking.
So a big thank you for this video. 🙂
Congratulations on your sobriety! ❤
Stay strong and you will stay healthy. Very very very proud of you🎉
@@ellengrace4609 Thank you. 🙂
@@RINAKEYSER Thank you. 🙂
Much Compassion & Respect
Had my last drink on New Years Eve 2020. I only really intended to go dry for January 2021, but decided to just keep going.
Congratulations. That's says a lot. Sounds like your in tune with your mind & body.
This stuff should be taught to grade school children and high school, as well as be college requirement. I mean, the entire subject of human anatomy and nutritional science. Life saving information!
I'm watching this at 54 after being completely abstinent for 6 years. In 2018 when I _'Needed'_ at least 1, sometimes 2 bottles of red wine every day and at the time I could never imagine being without it! One non alcoholic drink did the job of replacing it - Lemon & Lime Squash! I can't actually remember when I 'gave up' but it just happened, by the Grace of God
Congrats!
@@theanatomylab Thanks! Some things just need to be shared!
Congratulations! ❤ What is lemon lime squash?
Agreed!! Replacement is everything. Flavored sparkling water is my go-to now. Coming up on two years without alcohol. Good sleep is good health :) Congrats to you
A soft drink that you dilute with water. You might know it as cordial? @@ellengrace4609
Congratulations to everybody in the comments who stopped and are sober. I am proud of you. This is great thing! ❤❤❤ Not everybody can do it. I don't know I would been able to do such thing. You are heroes!
This has been a very uplifting comments section. Congrats to all on your sobriety milestones and thanks for sharing.
Sobriety is bad. Are you all moose limbs?
I know right. I also agree. Much love to you friend
Alcohol is poison. Stop drinking poison.
I stopped drinking about a year ago. The change that shocked me the most was the boost to my mental capacity. My Memory and Problem Solving ability has had a noticeable increase. I'm also able to do math in head like I could back in college. I've also lost my beer gut and my six pack is starting to show through. I wish I stopped years ago.
Alcohol is poison. Don't drink poison.
I was hoping you might go into some of the effects of long-term, heavy alcohol use, such as alcohol withdrawal and Alcohol Related Dementia. Maybe in a Part Two?
I was a dementia ward nurse for 25yrs. Please help educate people so no other family has to face the horrifying person alcoholic dementia turns their loved one into!
Alcohol related dementia? That’s been happening to me . I stopped drinking the margaritas
I'm 78 years old and I enjoy beer and wine. I give up for 6 weeks as a new year resolution. This year I aim to only drink at the weekend. This video and the comments is so helpful as I thought exercise and a good diet were very important in countering some of the effects of moderate alcohol consumption.
Excellent. Alcoholism is rampant in every generation in my family so this was very helpful. Glad I gave it up 35 yrs ago
my mother just passed away from liver cirrhosis caused by her severe alcoholism. We were estranged but she was only 58 years old and it was horrible to read over what had happened to her body.
Great video, I'm a heavy drinker and would usually drink myself to oblivion every weekend. But this year I've decided to hold back and reduce my drinking. So much so that it's only twice since the new year. Now while I do actually love being drunk, I'm no menace if out in public and a quiet drunk at home. Basically I think I needed to try something different, I think it's going alright, losing weight, feeling more clear and even started a garden. I think I might keep it so and have only the occasional drink from now on, also it's a waste of money so I can buy more cool things instead and plants...
I got sober cold turkey about a month ago after yet another blackout and havent wanted a drop since. I am so grateful for all the information readily available about the harms of alcohol
wanna go on a date?
@@jasonbower7763😂😂
You want 4 kids?? @@jasonbower7763
I didn’t hear you say that the liver focuses so much on removing the alcohol from your body that it either stops or severely slows down its work in other necessary areas to further your detriment from alcohol. Happy to hear you say that alcohol is toxic. Cheers
I think they actually did mention it in another video that they made about alcohol about a year or two ago.
Nice to know they did in the past. 👍🏾
I stopped drinking 11/14/2020 I still think about it everyday
Hope you have supportive people nearby. Keep going, you can do it
Yea same but it was such a good choice, keep it up you can do it!!
What I use is a mindfulness exercise I learned: I watch the thought, and then turn my attention to something else. Thoughts/desires come and they go.
I think about it everyday too…
Why did I waste so much time drowning in poison….i still struggle with depression…but at least I feel better and sleep better so that helps in itself.
I hope things get better.
@@JessieRedyou spent time with the poison because you are struggling with depression. You answered your own question
I’m 39 and had some fun times drinking in my 20s, but around 25 cut back a lot and in my 30s barely drink at all. I lift weights a lot and alcohol makes for awful recovery, lack of energy in the gym and empty calories. It’s so much easier to stay lean not drinking.
I drank heavily on and off for a few year, sometimes go almost a week getting very drunk and then other times staying sober for a few days then drunk again for a few days, like a little spiral with breaks but short breaks and noticed I started to feel completely different and have brain fog almost all the time and anxiety with low mood and stopped enjoying things, I would sometimes get pains in my kidneys and my liver I think, like pressure next to where my liver is and started worrying about my health so stopped drinking and 6 weeks in and feel a ton better and got tons more mental clarity less anxiety and depression and can actually think straight haha, I love watching things like this now to remind me why I stopped. Alcohol is no joke specially if you abuse it
Exact same thing for me. I never find comments about this particular pattern of drinking. For the last 4 years I’ve drank 3-4 for nights a week. Usually a pint of whiskey or vodka. Some times 3-4 in a row. Sometimes broken up every other day. Never felt the need to wake up and drink. No shakes and those classics alcoholic symptoms. I’ve had all the same aches and pains you speak about. It’s a weird place to be in. You can function (kinda) yet there’s definitely a problem.
Good on ya. Thanks for sharing. There are no health benefits to drinking alcohol. Zero!
How are you doing so far?
i quit alcohol December 3rd 2023, and its the best decision i have made after quitting smoking on thanksgiving 2015, and becoming vegan in May 2014. So, give your life a chance to live ☀🤷🏻♂😁💚 and then hope for the best, not the other way around ! 🤝 Great video, thanks !
Wife, from other room: "I'll be there in a sec.. what's it about today?
Me, finding my glasses: "Uh... Should I stop drinking."
Wife, all too quickly: "Oh god, yes. But what's the video?"
😂😂😂. Definitely laughed out loud at this one!
Buh dum TISS!
You’ve got a problem buddy, but yes I should stop drinking also. 😕
I’ve always been a casual drinker with friends and family (and from ages 17-19 I drank far, far too much). It was always something to look forward to and everyone around me drank without a thought. Watching videos like this have truly changed my perspective in every way about alcohol. I only drink once every few months on special occasions, and have no desire to consume it otherwise. I’m happy that I came to this conclusion earlier (age 23) than later in life. Thanks for all these fantastic videos!!!
I think I got an explanation now why one of my brothers would get giggly from just a few small zips of alcohol - probably lack of enzymes and NAD+, which are already exhausted from other stressors in his life.
Love learning from you guys and including the cadavers for the tour of alcohol in the body. Your videos keep improving with graphics and white board discussions. Cheers again!
I have a drinking problem. Mainly from psy things and disorder of perceptions. I drink (way) too much beers. Everyday.
I was able to give good long stops about my drinking habit from the past. But once in a while, life strokes with full power without mercy. Thence bottles became parts of my world again.
As miserable it might sounds, alcohol is some kind of escape from the suffering. Even if I am aware (as mentioned is the video) that I am causing more troubles than resolutions.
I am afraid to never find the balance there... Anyway, thanks for reading, and thanks for the video. I will try another hold to my drinking problem. Take care guys.
That's exactly what alcohol is, an escape. Escape from the past, the current, from boredom, from your insecurities etc. You have to take the steps to fix those other parts of your life, so you no longer need the escape. Alcohol is a bandaid that only prolongs and increases your problems. You really need to write out a plan to address what you can (with therapy, hobbies, friends, fitness etc). Good luck.
Sounds familiar
Keep getting up when you fall
I drank a lot of alcohol but finally started to feel bad and overwhelmed by the effects and currently I’m straining from it and it makes my life so much better. Great video, inspiring 🎉
I’m actually in free time in an institution right now. I miss alcohol less and less since learning about the benefits of sobriety. Long run it’s worth to stop or slow down drinking habits. Good luck lads
You’re an absolute legend, thank you so much for not judging. Been dry here since 2017 after being a big consistent drinker.
my brother in law has been sober for a year and he is loving the benefits. I recall when I first met him he was chunkier and had sallow skin; now he looks healthier. I hardly drink at all I think last time was in Flagstaff Arizona on vacation but honestly don't miss it.
I'm allergic to alcohol, I break out into handcuffs. I got sober in my 20's by white knuckle absence and I was miserable and relapsed after 3 years. Then in my 40's I used AA and honestly gave the program 100% effort and that wasn't easy but 12 years later I have these new tools and support to live with a calm mind and increased happiness, life still throws me a curve ball from time to time but today I able to better handle it with dignity and grace.
Wow! It's funny, but serious. 👏
Ex was allergic to tequila. It made her asshole hurt.
I remember being a kid in the 70’s and my grandma lived in Cullman County Alabama which was a dry county. She was told by her doctor to drink a beer once every couple days or so. I believe it had something to do with her kidneys. She was even given a prescription by her doctor because of the county ban on alcohol.
And that's the point 😊
Interesting to note, my mother had been developing a gluten intolerance for a few years, and some months after quitting alcohol, it actually cleared up and got better!
This channel that I stumbled upon a few weeks ago is just plain awesome. Thanks so much.
Saw this recommended while I’m fighting a bad craving. Seems like a sign!
There are 7 different types of Alcohol Dehydrogenase enzymes found in a human. Alcohol Dehydrogenase class 1 is the main enzyme involved in ethanol oxidation and besides liver, it's also found in the lining of the stomach which also convert ethanol to acetaldehyde. Genetics play a major role in determining the tolerance level in the human population. Even class 1 AlcD comes in 2 varients and one of the varient is more efficient than the other thus imparting more tolerance. Aldehyde Dehydrogenase also come in 3 classes: class 1 found in cytoplasm, class 2 in mitochondria and class 3 in stomach lining. So some alcohol also get broken down to acetate in the stomach itself but class 3 is less efficient than the other two. Also flushing of face, hangover, vertigo that result due to alcohol consumption is due to the effect of Acetaldehyde!!
Hi Jonathan, can you do a video on Pneumonia and Aspiration? My 85y mum is sufferring, and it will be very helpful to know what she is actually facing. Thanks for every video you and Justin make for us. It has helped me immensely. I mean, life changing. So, thank you. :)
one of the first things i learned in orgo chem 2 was the conversion of ethanol to ethanal then ethanone & our prof described the effects of this and i’ve always remembered since
Very good and explanatory video ! Thanks for the info!!
Thank you for this informative video! Loving your content, and your enthusiasm. (Also, please don't feel the need to dial-down on the nerdiness! We love it)
To more such great videos! 🥂 (Uh oh!)
I understood! Its aim is to provide all the information we have so far from all the research as well as provide an ethical perspective to encourage people to drink responsibly.
Nice to know all my empiric lessons are scientifically explained. Keeping my intake so low that my liver, that wasn’t exposed to alcohol until I was 18, can cope just fine with what I’m throwing at it. Rarely have escaping alcohol in my bloodstream. Discovered a healthy yet social I take level just right for my body (102kg, 1,96m, 58 yr). Looking forward to responsibly carrying on with informed use of alcohol. Glad it never turned into an uncontrollable problem.
Greetings from Malaysia! Thank you sir for the valuable knowledge 🙏🏻
Love this, thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
My father died of alcoholism when I was young. Now I'm 35 years old and I've never had any alcohol in my whole life. That's the best decision I've ever made.
When I started measuring my performance at gym, I realized that I never needed alcohol in my life.
That is so inspiring, thankyou for sharing this.
Thank you so much for sharing these beneficial and academic contents 😊
I quit drinking last Fat Tuesday for Lent, intending to continue after 6 weeks. The only alcohol I've had in the past year was from a little mouthwash.
👍🏻
Heartiest Thanks
I drink your prescribed limit but along with my regular limit, this is such a wonderful education 😍
Already having a hangover. Opened youtube for distraction and this video popped up. Anyways, I like this channel. Thanks for making such informative videos interesting.
Hey Jonathan, everybody is aware about the alcohol toxicity but people tend to ignore fructose which also is metabolized by the liver. Could you explain how alcohol and fructose effect liver and which one does more damage considering how often we consume fructose in our daily lives.
As long as you are eating real fruit (not juice or candy), fructose will always be better than alcohol. Whole fresh fruit contains fibre and other good stuff.
Good physiological explanation about Alcohol Consumption.
Thank you 🙏
You have the coolest videos ever. So passionate about your craft.
So helpful to know more about why alcohol is really the dark cloud for humanity for all of history when taking in "larger " doses. Thank you.
It's been a scourge in my family lines and hard to believe it's legal for people with my genetic lines or mental disposition
This was such a great video. Very informative. I’ll have a drink every other week or so, however, there has been times where I’ve overdone it when hanging out with friends.
Just lost my uncle last week to liver cancer😔 he was 58. He was told years ago to stop because his liver was very weak but he was addicted unfortunately🙏🏾
That’s what alcohol can do unfortunately, only three years older than my pops too! Wow….hmm that’s why I’m personally against college and high school kids even having access to that stuff 😹😹 like a drinking age of 25 would be much better and save a lot of lives!
I just started drinking after 33 years of never drink at all. I don' t really care if I don't drink (only do it socially) but I was told that drinking kills you slowly and I am ok with that.
What a king.
Really enjoyed video. Great explanation of how the bodies work!
I need to watch more videos like this. I was so good at not drinking but during the pandemic started drinking heavily. Even when I drink I think why do I enjoy this versus being sober? I grew up in a society where if you did not drink, you were a weak man, dont think that helps quit.
This is video is
As informative as always
As interesting as always
And as AMAZING AS ALWAYS!
For a science student like me I love your videos.
Perfect timing with the Superbowl
😅 I know right?
Great video, love that it’s right to the point. Well done good sir.
368 days and counting
👍🏻
440 days and counting. Added intermittent fasting and a Mediterranean-ish Diet. Recent bloodwork was perfect (wasn’t horrible before, but noticeably better)! Would love a video about fasting and possibly different diets. Love the content on your channel!
I love these videos. I use to drink, so this is very interesting. I also love when they talk about the uterus and pregnancy. It amazes me how a human can grow inside of another human.
Glad you like the videos! Thank you for supporting us by watching our videos!
It amazes me how an alien can grow inside of another human. Actually there is whole move series about this issue.
You are the best! Yours video so informative and interesting!
Keep going!
Thank you for shedding more light
I wanna see you do how older people still look young or how age affects the body!! :)
Great and informative video 🎉
The superbowl is today, I'll watch this tomorrow after my hangover 😊
Thanks for shedding light on the processes behind alcohol consumption. After decades of abuse and failed attempts at moderation, I stopped completely 7 years ago. It was hard for about two weeks, but the best decision ever since! So many drunken stupid mistakes avoided! So much damage to my body avoided! And luckily the selection of drinkable alcohol free beers has never been greater! 🍻😎
I am a college student who is in her early 20s. I rarely drink. I had a drink on my 21st birthday and the next day, I felt awful. I got about 2 hrs of sleep, a bad headache, nausea, etc. I was also on my period which made it worse. After my night of drinking, I was like "yeah I am not going to drink again." I don't know how some people can drink and sleep fine. Drinking and I don't mix. Stay sober. (You can still have fun without alcohol).
Maybe it's because I'm always depressed but I sleep like a damn rock, alcohol makes it better. Tho if I have too much I get a headache the next day
Try some good quality wine.
@@ExtraThiccc i understand but alcohol is different for everyone. If you drink in moderation it’s fine.
@@sandythemonk wine is still alcohol. I just literally said I don’t drink a lot.
Awesome video! I really hope you’ll make a video talking about the deficiency that some people have that causes a higher build up of the acetaldehyde. I’m one of those people and can’t really drink anymore but I’ve always wanted to know from a more scientific perspective why this happens, what are the dangers, are there cures, etc. although after watching your video I’m going to continue to not drink alcohol but I’ve always been curious about it
Second all of this!
VERY INFORMATIVE. Thank you Jonathan, and also to an earlier vid, thank you to Justin as well. Definitely re-thinking my own alcohol intake for sure. Helps that now some bars in West Hollywood are charging extra fees for credit card use.
I was drinking 7 to 8 standard glasses each day for at least 20 years. 3 years ago I decided to snap out of it and abstain. Wasn’t easy for the first month and would think about alcohol for the first year. Now I have about 4 glasses a year. I’m happy to stop at one, and tbh, only have that one if I’m in a social situation. Much happier and I don’t get up twice at night for a toilet visit.
I got pancreatitis from drinking alcohol. The worst pain I ever had!
Why did you completely avoid telling people that alcohol is carcinogenic? Everyone will practically turn cartwheels to get the message through about the cancer-causing effects of tobacco but completely ignore telling people that alcohol is every bit as carcinogenic. Is alcohol-induced cancer any better?
HO SHI- I didn't know this, I was this close getting second whiskey that night Saturday February 10th 2024. Fuk I love Whiskey, & sometimes I'll take Tequila, even though I'm proud i dont drink every weekend or daily, like i drink one or twice a month. Now I'm aware. Thank you!
Like smoking, drinking alcohol is a personal choice, but I think it is important that people have all the facts first.
He did mention it. You need to be a jeavy drinker to get any significant risk. Even tobacco doesn't increase cancer risk by a lot. It's the fact of smoking it that is behind the serious risk of cancer.

@@djmoulton1558 I don't smoke and did you read my full reply. I didn't say that smoking doesn't cause cancer, I said that it's not simply because of the molecule callef nicotine. Any smoke going into your lungs can cause cancer and cigarettes have dozens of chemicals and most of them harm you because they stick to your lungs more than anything else. The heat is also bad.
The actual chemistry behind "alcohol" is very fascinating, and it wasn't until I was in high school chemistry class that I learned that there are many different types of alcohol and it's only ethanol which we can consume.
Thank you for this❤
11:38 In regards to women typically having a lower safe amount than men, I’m glad to know some of the reasons why. I’m trans, male-to-female, and when my doctor told me I was going to have to cut back (citing guidelines), I tried to argue that since I was born male those are the guidelines that should apply (I like to use whatever sex is most advantageous for any particular thing or situation). He disagreed. The first two reasons you cited - body size and water to fat ratio - both put me on the female side now. But now I’m wondering about alcohol dehydrogenase! So many things changed unexpectedly just from replacing testosterone with estrogen and progesterone, I’m curious if this is one of them. I know getting drunk definitely is likely to make me a sad depressed mess now, which was never the case before.
Just follow the male guidelines as you are male👍
Gracias por la informacion amigo ❤
I found this really interesting as I now don't consume much alcohol at all.
As you discussed the processing of alcohol in the liver, I wondered whether you have a video discussing the Vitamin D3 conversion to Calcifediol, which I understand is quite slow. Also, the production of D3 in the skin under sunlight and changes as we age.
Great videos as always!!!
Glad you like them!
I've never been a fan of alcohol, why would I willingly injest an expensive poison that will make me feel awful the next morning? I might have the rare drink for social settings, but I always found myself put off by how much drinking culture is pushed in society. That and cannabis, I would love to see a video on that, deep dives on the longterm effects of weed are pretty hard to find.
I’m not a fan of alcohol either. I have drunk it a few times on rare occasions always in moderation but it still made me vomit one time and it was not a cool experience. I got sick and lethargic. Never again. And I hate how society pushes people into drinking and judge you if you don’t do it just because it’s a “cool adult” thing. You don’t need alcohol to enjoy life. The choice of choosing not to drink should be respected.
they already did that one. Look it up 👍
Technically you can avoid the "feeling awful" party by not binge drinking. 2 drinks per week or once in a while when going out seems decent to me.
@@erf2324 Or just not drink alcohol at all. I never drank one and I don't understand why people chose to drink it in the first place.
Don't care how bad it is for u I love drinking. I catch a buzz 2-3 times a month. I work and never lose sight of what I have. Drinking is my outlet so I'll never give it up.
Your liver on the other hand could have different ideas about the matter.
That’s because your weak
@@shadowtail4063 so was your dad with his pull out game
Good luck with that.
I drink maybe a couple times a year mostly cuz I’m prone to migraines, don’t like getting hangovers and noticed that alcohol causes so much inflammation in my body and I hate that feeling. This video is very interesting and informative might make me cut back even more.
Thank you very much for the video. Better to get rid of this habit. God bless
Great content
36 years old and never 👎🏿 been drunk before 😊
I've got a family history of alcoholic tendencies, so I routinely go through a period of enforced dry spells to keep myself honest. The longest I made it was about six months when I was doing a whole anti-inflammatory routine. These days I'm on topiramate which is strongly contraindicated against alcohol, so I avoid it. I got to be the DD on New Year's Eve this year.
Was thinking about having a drink, and this video popped-up.)

Moderation is key.
Then again why moderation for a known neurotoxin? Many pesticides are neurotoxins but I would not take those in moderation either lol.
@@johnlesoudeur3653Because alcohol is harmless if you don't drink a gallon of it every day
@@johnlesoudeur3653
Because this isn't a neurotoxin.
I would take a shot of whiskey one or twice a week.
I wouldn't take a shot of arsenic ever.
You know why?
Because I'm not retarded clown who only deals in absolutes.
Been sober for 4 months, I'm glad i stopped before it got too bad, though i ended up having pretty bad anxiety for a while, I'll never take another sip of that awful substance.
Great education, thank you
I haven't had a drink in about four months. I almost did the other day, knowing an occasional one probably won't hurt me with a nice meal... but I just couldn't bring myself to spend money on a neurotoxin
If it's a neurotoxin how come I can have 10 drinks and only be a tad sick after
@@ExtraThicccis this a joke?
@@iTheBeep no? If anything the idea that alcohol is a neurotoxin is ridiculous to me
Just in time for Mardi Gras!

Thanks for this video
