Therefore, the question of how to accelerate the elimination of alcohol from the body, is of concern to many.

The alcohol in the blood

Our body perceives alcohol as a poison and as with any toxic substance, the body begins to fight it by producing a special enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase. The elimination of ethanol occurs primarily through the liver. To the body is not affected by the incoming ethanol, nature has created a special system for the withdrawal of the poison. Adaptive enzyme breaks down the alcohol and turns into an organic compound called acetaldehyde, which is toxic to the body.

Those people who regularly drink alcohol, this compound is constantly circulating in the blood and can harm the liver and cause various, sometimes deadly diseases. Next, to display the acetaldehyde from the blood, the body transformerait it into acetic acid, which can handle all human cells. It may seem that this is a pretty easy process, but it is a very complex and lengthy.

The speed of withdrawal of ethanol from the body, there are several factors, including the condition of the liver, and gender. It is known that men have this feature lasts a little longer than women. Somehow speed up this process is not possible.
