Alcohol (ethanol) is a intoxicant and the way that the body metabolizes alcohol is by converting it to acetaldehyde (which is toxic to the human body at larger doses as it builds up - which one can visibly see in certain people when they have red patches on their person). Afterwards the body neutralizes it by changing it into acetic acid (the main component that gives vinegar its tangy kick).
