==== Role of fructose and carbohydrates in alcohol absorption ====
   −
Role of fructose and carbohydrates in alcohol absorption:
   
Rogers et al, showed that carbohydrates significantly increased the rate of alcohol metabolism in fasting humans while protein and fat failed to show the same effect. In this context it is interesting to mention that for a long time (prior to controlled scientific interventions) a common nonscientific experience existed claiming that consumption of honey may shorten the period of alcohol intoxication (honey is an excellent rich source of nutritional fructose). The honey significantly increased blood alcohol disappearance and elimination rates by 32.4 and 28.6 percent, respectively, and reduced the intoxication time (that is, the time taken to attain zero blood alcohol level) and its degree (the peak blood alcohol level) by 30 and 4.4 percent.

Fructose, also known as “fruit Sugar”, is naturally-occurring, is characterized by “clean” non-lingering sweet taste.  Fructose is highly soluble, and is characterized by a Relative Sweetening Value (RSV) of 1.1-1.7 (where sucrose = 1.0), depending on temperature and pH.

With regards to the possible mechanism by which fructose accelerates ethanol metabolism, a literature review indicates a possible shift in the metabolism of fructose in the presence of alcohol. This shift has been linked to the production in the liver of NAD+ which facilitates alcohol oxidation. Therefore, in the presence of alcohol, the metabolism of fructose in the liver is diverted from NAD+ to NADH requiring pathways, which in turn generates the NAD+ needed for alcohol oxidation9.
