Alcohol is a toxin whose waste products after metabolism are particular monosaccharides of the aldehyde or ketone functional groups, also called SUGARS. Enzymes (either alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) or cytochrome P450IIE1 (CYP2E1)) converts alcohol to acetaldehyde, which is a SUGAR. This SUGARis then metabolized by enzymes in the liver into acetic acid which is then converted to acetyl-CoA by other enzymes eventually metabolizing it to carbon dioxide and water.
