There's a phenomenon called alcohol-induced hypoglycemia. It means that alcohol can reduce the level of glucose in the blood to abnormally low levels. Alcohol intoxication (also called drunkeness) reduces the level of glucose in the blood by: 1) increasing insulin secretion to consume current energy stores. 2) inhibiting the hormono-enzymatic response that would normally rectify low blood glucose levels. (Alcohol inhibits gluconeogenesis in the liver, inhibits glycolysis in the brain and liver etc) The hypoglycemic effect of acute alcohol intoxication further starves the brain cells of glucose and presents as neuroglycopenic symptoms. This is responsible for impaired judgement, fatigue, confusion, lethargy, daydreaming, incoordination, stupor, & coma. So your garri and sugar soaked in water contains macromolecules of glucose that would increase the glucose levels in the blood, supply glucose to the brain and reverse the features that characterize drunkenness. 3 Likes |

hushmail: You have a dictionary and the Internet. It's a very simple explanation. Alcohol will increase your blood glucose level initially giving you the initial energy high. It doesn't stay alcohol forever. It is metabolized into other intermediates which drive its long term hypoglycemic effect- which produces the features relevant to this topic. You don't need to believe my explanation for it to be true. Those that understand, understand completely. |
