2. Pharmacology of ethanol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacology_of_ethanol

   At concentrations below 0.15-0.20 g/L, alcohol is eliminated more slowly and the elimination rate more closely follows first-order kinetics. The overall behavior of the elimination rate is described well by Michaelis–Menten kinetics. This change in behavior was not noticed by Widmark because he could not analyze low BAC levels. [93]

3. Biological half-life - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_half-life

   The removal of ethanol (drinking alcohol) through oxidation by alcohol dehydrogenase in the liver from the human body is limited. Hence the removal of a large concentration of alcohol from blood may follow zero-order kinetics. Also the rate-limiting steps for one substance may be in common with other substances.

   This involves estimating the absorption and elimination of alcohol in the interim between driving and testing. The rate of elimination in the average person is commonly estimated at 0.015 to 0.020 grams per deciliter per hour (g/dL/h), [46] although again this can vary from person to person and in a given person from one moment to another ...

   “When alcohol is metabolized, it produces acetaldehyde, a toxic compound that damages DNA and impairs the body’s ability to repair this damage,” says Andrews. “This DNA damage can set the ...

   Studies show that alcohol interferes with the body’s immune system. People who drink are more likely to get sick and also take longer to recover from sickness. For this reason, if you stop ...

7. Elimination (pharmacology) - Wikipedia

   The other elimination pathways are less important in the elimination of drugs, except in very specific cases, such as the respiratory tract for alcohol or anaesthetic gases. The case of mother's milk is of special importance. The liver and kidneys of newly born infants are relatively undeveloped and they are highly sensitive to a drug's toxic ...
