Answer:

liver

Explanation:

More than 90% of absorbed alcohol is metabolized, oxidized and eliminated by the liver; 2 to 5% is excreted without changes in urine, sweat and breathing. The first step in alcohol metabolism is the oxidation of acetaldehyde by the enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). This enzyme converts alcohol to acetaldehyde which, even in small concentrations, is toxic to the body. The enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), in turn, converts acetaldehyde to acetate. Most of the acetate produced reaches other parts of the body through the bloodstream where it participates in other metabolic cycles.

These can commonly include black, tarry stools, chest pain, chills, cough, fever, painful or difficult urination, shortness of breath, sore throat,ulcers for example. Often the side effects are worse than what the drug is supposed to do so alternative medicine including herbs if available for the particular ailment are often recommended instead.</span>

What role do vitamins play?
yan [13]
Vitamins are essential compounds that must be acquired through the diet because the body can't synthesize them. One of the reasons vitamins are needed is because they play an indirect role in catalysis, in which enzymes speed up chemical reactions. :D
