“These risks may be increased further in people with inherited low alcohol tolerability who cannot properly metabolize alcohol.” Whew. Glad I dodged that bullet. 🤣

Alcohol is such a heavy buzz. And your body recognizes it as a poison. It puts everything on hold until the alcohol is completely gone from your system. That means whatever pill you’ve taken whatever nutrients you’ve taken in will have to wait until the alcohol has been processed by your liver.

Scientists discover mechanism behind the chemically-induced suppression of fearful memories
Tragic events like wars, famines, earthquakes, and accidents create fearful memories in our brain. These memories continue to haunt us even after the actual event has passed. Luckily, researchers from Tokyo University of Science (TUS) have recently been able to understand the hidden biochemical mechanisms involved in the selective suppression of fearful memories, which is called fear extinction. The researchers, who had previously demonstrated fear extinction in mice using the chemically synthesized compound "KNT-127," have now identified the underlying mechanism of this compound's action. Their findings have been published recently in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience.
