Nothing happens. The ethanol rebounds, twists, and suddenly wedges tight into a small crevice in the face of the enzyme. Instantly, one of the hydrogen atoms on the ethanol molecule is ripped off. Shorn of its hydrogen atom (hence, dehydrogenated), the ethanol is released by the enzyme, which is now ready to take on the next ethanol molecule that happens its way. The molecule left behind by this surgery is no longer ethanol. It is called acetaldehyde. The removal of that single hydrogen atom renders ethanol pharamacologically inactive: you can’t get drunk on acetaldehyde.
Where there was sugar, humans learned ways to encourage its conversion into alcohol by fermentation. But although the art of fermentation is ancient, the science is not. As civilization flourished over the centuries, people made beer and wine with only the crudest understanding of what they were doing. It wasn’t until quite late in the game that anyone had a clue about what alcohol was or how it was produced. Understanding these two things is the first step in understanding such larger issues as intoxication, hangovers, and addiction—topics we’ll explore in later chapters.
