A few days ago, n0rybic came upon me and said he felt sick after drinking and didn\u2019t get the desired feeling everyone was boasting about. Here\u2019s a summary of what goes on inside your body after you drink:<\/p>\n<p>Metabolizing alcohol is a 2 step process. Alcohol -> ADH -> Acetic acid, which after your body flushes it out of your body. The feeling of drunk or getting high from drinking occurs during the first conversion. Asians have a gene which speeds up this process and converts all the alcohol into ADH rapidly. Therefore, many Asians have a very short period where they\u2019re actually feeling high from drinking. ADH is a toxin and because of the rapid conversion, we have a high build up of ADH inside our body which causes us to be sick. Therefore, if you\u2019re asian and don\u2019t feel good after drinking, that\u2019s normal because as some would say it, \u201cIt\u2019s part of our genes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The above can be supported by this article: <a href=\"http:\/\/chemcases.com\/alcohol\/alc-06.htm\">Metabolism of Ethyl Alcohol in the Body<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Talking about drinking, I remember what my friend milkmandan says about doing drugs. He says the drug you should do if you don\u2019t want to be caught is acid. LSD, cocaine, marijuana, shrooms, and all other drugs all enter the bloodstream so if they do a blood test, you\u2019d definitely be caught. Acid on the other hand does not enter your blood stream but into your bones. The cool thing about acid is that after you feel high the first time and u wake up the next morning, give your back a little crack and all the acid will come out and it\u2019s getting high all over again. Hehe. I just found that to be a very amusing info.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>nothing too interesting happened today besides 4hrs of vigorous psych reading with chris, so I\u2019ll go on to a topic I\u2019ve been inspired my alphabons and n0rybic to talk about: drinking.
