1. The document discusses the effects of alcohol on the body from different ingestion levels. It notes stages from slight intoxication to unconsciousness and death from respiratory depression.
2. It describes how alcohol is absorbed and distributed differently in men and women due to factors like enzyme levels, fat content, and water content.
3. Moderate alcohol consumption is said to have some potential heart benefits but excessive drinking can damage major organs like the liver, heart and brain over time and acutely cause issues like impaired coordination and judgement.

What is alcohol?
There are several different types of alcohol, all of which you are likely familiar with from their various household and industrial uses. The alcohol which we commonly associate with drinking is ethanol, or ethyl alcohol.
Other alcohols which are encountered in forensic toxicology are:
Methanol – also known sometimes as wood alcohol, methanol is a commonly used solvent and reagent in the chemical industry and is a component of windshield washer antifreeze.
Isopropanol – what we commonly know as “rubbing alcohol”, isopropanol is a commonly used antiseptic. For example if you have had blood drawn at your physician’s office or at the hospital, it is likely that they swabbed the skin with isopropanol before insertion of the needle. Isopropanol is less toxic than methanol but actually has a greater central nervous system depression than ethanol does.
Ethylene Glycol – the active component of antifreeze. It is very toxic and will be covered in the upcoming lecture on “other poisons”.
Although there are several different types of alcohol that are encountered in forensic toxicology, I’m going to focus this lecture on ethanol. I will use ethanol and alcohol interchangeably – unless I specifically state otherwise you can assume that when I say alcohol, I am talking about ethanol.
Once ingested, alcohol in the stomach will proceed via the pyloric sphincter into the small intestine. Absorption occurs from the mucosal surfaces of the stomach and small intestine by simple diffusion (movement from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration). Although a significant amount of ethanol is absorbed in the stomach, the small intestine is the major site of ethanol absorption – this is because the surface area available for contact with the blood is far greater in the small intestine than in the other parts of the GI tract.
Ethanol reacts with the cofactor NAD to form acetaldehyde and NADH. This reaction is facilitated by the cytosolic enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). Acetaldehyde is further oxidized to acetic acid by the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase. Acetic acid (or acetate) then enters the aerobic respiration process (Krebs cycle or citric acid cycle) and breaks down to the final products – carbon dioxide and water.
Although this is not the exclusive route of ethanol metabolism, it is the predominant route by which alcohol in the body is metabolized. Other routes of ethanol metabolism are by the enzyme catalase and by the microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system (MEOS). Catalase and MEOS contribute to less than 10% of the normal metabolism of ethanol.
Nicotine adenine dinulcleotide (NAD) is also required in the alcohol dehydrogenase pathway
Ethanol causes vasodilatation of the cutaneous vessels which creates a feeling of warmth (flush) often associated with the consumption of alcoholic beverages, also results in a decrease in body temperature (loss of heat at the skin surface). This vasodilatation does not occur uniformly over the vasculature. In fact, moderate doses of ethanol can cause vasoconstriction in the heart and the brain.
Disinhibition – at low doses, alcohol induces behavioural excitement. The excitement is caused by a depression of inhibitory neurons within the brain that leaves a person in a state of disinhibition. Because alcohol often induces euphoria, it is commonly thought of as a stimulant rather than a depressant. However, behavioural excitation is due not to stmulation but by the depression of inhibition (taking your foot off the brake of a car will cause the car to speed up). “Loss of restraint”
Ethanol is a non-selective central nervous system depressant; capable of inducing varying degrees of behavioural depression secondary to a non-selective depression of the
Sedation – diminished environmental awareness, spontaneity and physical activity
Drowsiness -
