Your friend has a mutation in their aldehyde dehydrogenase gene, causing it to be inactive. Based on this information, what can you predict about their experience when consuming alcohol? Describe the metabolism of alcohol. After consuming alcohol, what is the mechanism by which your friend’s symptoms occur? Be sure to include that acetaldehyde causes the symptoms of a hangover and that alcohol is metabolized at a constant rate, regardless of intake
