But you can drink a certain amount of alcohol and it will never get into your brain.

All the alcohol that you consume will first go to your liver and your liver has an enzyme which breaks down the alcohol into two substrates A and B that get excreted in your urine.

If you present too much alcohol to your liver,

then the alcohol, the liver doesn't have the capacity to break down that volume of alcohol.

Some of it will be broken down.

Some of it will pass through unchanged.

It gets into your bloodstream, and in 30 seconds, it's crossed that blood-brain barrier, and it's in your brain, and you will feel the buzz.

So if you feel the buzz, you know that you've exceeded your liver's capacity to detoxify that alcohol, and that alcohol has gotten into your brain.

And it's not doing you any favor, believe me.

And let's face it, you know, people will often say, oh, they love Gugasa wine because it tastes so good.

Most people drink because they want the buzz.

Yes, there is.

And that depends on the individual.

So generally people who would have one drink a day and a drink is considered, you know, like two ounces of hard liquor or six ounces of wine or one beer.

that that doesn't have any negative effect whatsoever.

In fact, there are some studies that show that it actually has a positive effect.

But it's different.

You can't just take those exact numbers because it's different.

A 105-pound woman can't.

can't break down the same amount of alcohol as a 250-pound man.
