[0003] Alcoholism can inhibit the central nervous system, causing drowsiness and coma. Extremely high concentrations of ethanol can inhibit the medullary center and cause respiratory and circulatory failure. In addition, ethanol is metabolized in liver cells to generate a large amount of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), which increases the ratio of NADH / NAD to the oxidized form, which can...
