Abstrakt: The toxic effects of alcohol consumption are dependent upon its metabolism in the liver to downstream metabolites: acetaldehyde, acetate, and acetyl-CoA. Recently, in Nature, Mews et al. (2019) have discovered that acetyl-CoA derived from alcohol plays an important epigenetic role in regulating ethanol's effects on the brain through histone acetylation.
