Steve: This is really interesting material, I think, because perhaps many of the listeners are familiar
with older research, for example, that found that the
aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme is not available for certain people, and that for them, drinking in excess is really uncomfortable, so they tend not to, but that's more of a direct genetic biochemical kind of a system related to the alcohol molecule ultimately as it gets metabolized.
