peroxisomes
The organelle that uses molecular oxygen to convert and detoxify harmful substances such as alcohol and free radicals is the peroxisome. Within the peroxisome, enzymes like catalase and peroxidase work to break down these toxins into harmless byproducts like water and oxygen.
The organelle you are referring to is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). It plays a key role in detoxifying harmful substances like drugs and alcohol through enzymes, as well as in synthesizing lipids and proteins. The smooth ER lacks ribosomes on its surface, unlike the rough endoplasmic reticulum, which is involved in protein synthesis.
The digestive sacs in cells that help to detoxify drugs and alcohol are called lysosomes. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down and neutralize various substances, including drugs and alcohol, to help with their elimination from the body.
Peroxisomes hold enzymes that digest amino acids, fatty acids, and hydrogen peroxide, a toxic metabolic product. Enzymes convert hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen or use it in reactions that degrade alcohol and other toxins. Drink alcohol, and peroxisomes in liver and kidney cells usually degrade nearly half of it.

Peroxisomes are membranous sacs containing powerful oxidase enzymes that use molecular oxygen to detoxify a number of harmful or poisonous substances including alcohol and formaldehyde.(found in Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, edition 9, Elaine Marieb p. 73)

The liver is the organ in the body that breaks down alcohol, not a specific organelle within a cell. The enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase in the liver helps convert alcohol into acetaldehyde, which is then further broken down into non-toxic substances.

Grain alcohol is a homogeneous mixture because it is composed of alcohol and water, which are completely mixed at the molecular level. It is not an element or compound on its own, but a mixture of different substances.
drink lots of water or juice but usually alcohol works the best
Peroxisomes are cell structures that detoxify alcohol and hydrogen peroxide by using specific enzymes to break down these substances into harmless byproducts like water and oxygen. They are involved in various metabolic processes, including lipid metabolism and detoxification of harmful compounds.
