Actually, not. The first step in alcohol metabolism involves converting it to acetaldehyde, and mostly takes place in the liver. The acetaldehyde can be further converted so that it enters the citric acid cycle, which is also used in sugar metabolism, to create energy.
This gives a nice overview of what happens when people drink.
Thanks ‘’mom’. But it does turn into sugar in the blood.. This is what doctors who have treated me told me. Believe me, I know what happens when people drink. I certainly used to know what happened to me. But happily that was 22 years ago this month. I don’t live that way anymore, one day at a time.
