[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 130044, member: 18023"] I could likely have a drink at dinner, it should me all metabolized by the time I went to sleep. But when I looked up how long it takes to metabolize alcohol, I ran into some weird facts. I knew women and East Asians were more sensitive to alcohol, I didn't know why. I hear so often not to mix alcohol with painkillers, it's hard to avoid that info. But I didn't know about cayenne peppers and diet soda. I suppose cialis would work the same way? And typically I would mix rum with a diet coke, so that can make you drunk quicker, and if you are eating blazin hot buffalo wild wings, and I do like spicy food, then it won't take much alcohol to make you feel it. ================================================ [B]East Asians and American Indians:[/B] Most individuals use a form of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase called ALD2 to metabolize the acetaldehyde which results from alcohol metabolism.

ALD2*2 is only about 8% as efficient as ALD2 at metabolizing acetaldehyde. [B]Older Males:[/B] As men age they tend to produce less alcohol dehydrogenase.

[SIZE=18px][B]Beware Mixing Alcohol with Your Medications[/B][/SIZE] The HAMS web site has a complete listing of alcohol-medication interactions here: [URL='http://hams.cc/meds/interactions.pdf']Alcohol-related Drug Interactions[/URL] You should check this reference if you have any concerns about the interaction of a medication which you are taking with alcohol.
