Does beer clog your arteries?
Beer contains alcohol, when digested the body turns alcohol (ethanol) into acetaldehyde (toxic to the liver), which is oxidized into acetate. Also produced are lactate, malate, fatty acids, and ketone. This cause a problem with protein synthesis and causes fatty deposits in the liver. This leads to fatty infiltration and scarring of the liver, which can lead to alcoholic hepatitis and/or cirrhosis. So the major damage to the body is to the liver from prolonged excessive drinking. Cholesterol is the primary cause of clogging or hardening of the arteries and excess alcohol consumption has no direct effect on cholesterol levels. Triglyceride levels are generally elevated as well as liver enzymes (from liver damage), this can lead to other health problems such as pancreatitis, and liver failure.
What happens to glucose and amino acids when they are absorbed into the blood stream?
After the glucose is absorbed into the blood it is taken to the liver and is either stored or distributed to cells throughout the body for energy. To provide enough energy for the body the liver regulates blood glucose levels. Example: excess glucose is converted to glycogen in the liver and is stored. Likewise, if blood sugar levels fall it is reconverted back to glucose. Not sure about amino acids :P
