Alcohol and Metabolism

We are all well aware of the harmful effects of alcohol that has on our body, just refreshing that list is how it affects our digestive and metabolism function. The very first thing one need to note is that alcohol only contains empty calories and has no nutritional value what so ever. When you consume alcohol the body prioritizes metabolizing it over anything as the body has no means to store alcohol within it which means the other metabolism activities take a dip and the body won’t be able to metabolize sugars and fats as efficiently during the metabolism of alcohol. These excess sugars and fats get stored within our body, resulting in weight gain. The more you drink, the more it damages the liver’s ability to activate vitamins, which contributes to the malnutrition often suffered by long term alcoholics and results in chronic malnutrition in spite of your slower metabolism.
