How does the body make alcohol naturally?

Answer 1

sugar

Answer 2

The actual term is called Endogenous Ethanol (EE) Production.
While there’s some evidence that small amounts are formed inside cells as metabolic intermediaries or products, mostly it’s manufactured in the mobile fermentation vat known as your gut. Some of the tiny things that live in there, especially yeasts, are constantly munching ingested carbs and churning out booze. The body absorbs this normally modest volume of EE and it goes straight to the liver, where it’s metabolized. Barring unusual circumstances, very little EE makes it to the rest of the body.

To get a significant BAC from EE alone would require increased fermentation, diminished ability to metabolize alcohol, or (probably) both. In Japan since the 1950s there have been dozens of published case reports of people feeling drunk after eating carbohydrates such as rice, a condition called meitei-sho or, in English, auto-brewery syndrome. You’re thinking: great—free sake. Not quite. It comes with a price.

In almost every case in one review, intestinal overgrowth of candida or other yeasts was identified as the cause. Most patients had undergone some sort of gastrointestinal surgery—such procedures sometimes result in increased fermentation thanks to blind loops left in the intestine, where microbes can eat and multiply undisturbed. In most cases not involving prior surgery, some other abnormality was noted, such as low stomach acidity.

Answer 3

Well your body makes tons of alcohols, well organic compounds containing an -OH group. But i think your talking about ethanol. In bacteria they synthesize alcohol via anaerobic respiration (fermentation). In humans we don't synthesis alcohol as a product during anaerobic respiration, or we'd get drunk when we go out for a little jog, we create lactic acid!!!.

Answer 4

Auto-Brewery Syndrome

A 13-year-old girl was noticed to have recurrent episodes of bizarre behavior, and a fruity odor of her breath and was suspected to be abusing alcohol. She was diagnosed as having alcohol intoxication. However, the patient persistently denied any intake of alcohol or alcoholic beverages ...

Answer 5

In totally uncontrolled diabetes carbohydrates taken as food get partially converted to ethyl alcohol because insulin is needed for total metabolisation of carbohydrates . In well controlled and non diabetics carbohydrates become water and carbon dioxide to be excreted.

Answer 6

Yeasts eat our bodily sugars and convert them into alcohol.

Answer 7

Alcohol is poison, where would you get an idea like that?

Answer 8

during anaerobic respiration
anaerobic respiration takes place in our muscles during vigorous physical exercise
glucose----------pyruvic acid -------------lactic acid (alcohol) + 2ATP

Answer 9

sugars, starches, and good 'ole fermentation in the belly, but nothing to get you drunk off of!

Answer 10

It dosen't!
