The liver metabolizes large amounts of alcohol and small amounts are eliminated in the feces and nursing release some alcohol in their milk. The initial step is the conversion of alcohol to acetaldehyde by the enzyme ADH. The acetaldehyde is converted by another liver enzyme to an active acetate that is broken down into carbon dioxide and water. The metabolism of alcohol results in significant changes in the ratio of important chemicals within the liver cells. The average adult can oxidize 10-15 grams of alcohol per hour.
Five basic effects of alcohol on the central nervous system include, acute and chronic brain damage, peripheral nerve dysfunction, cerebral and cortical atrophy
The Cardiovascular System: alcohol can cause an increase in the heart rate as well as lessened stoke power. It decreases resistance to blood flow throughout the body, resulting in a reduction in blood …show more content…
In pre-contemplation, consciousness raising must take place.

In preparation a change process is self-liberation, individual decides to make commitment to change often with specific goals.
