Causes of drunkenness:

The acetaldehyde produced during this decomposition process is the culprit of unpleasant feelings such as blushing, headaches, nausea, shivers, and hangovers after drinking. , and people who have a strong ability to convert acetaldehyde into acetic acid, that is, people who have more decomposing enzymes in their bodies, are the so-called "people who can drink" in everyone's eyes.
