"Acetaldehyde can cause significant damage to the liver because that is where most alcohol is broken down into the toxic by-product. However, some alcohol is metabolized in the pancreas and the brain, where acetaldehyde can also damage cells and tissues.

Small amounts of alcohol are metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract, which can also be damaged by acetaldehyde.
Some researchers believe the effects of acetaldehyde go beyond the damage it can cause to tissues, but might also be responsible for some of the behavioral and physiological effects attributed to alcohol."

No matter which organ breaks the alcohol down, it creates something that is highly toxic and a known carcinogen.

I agree with all of this - I never understand why american restaurant stalls were so awfully constructed. Especially the male ones. At our restaurant there's a half-height wall between two urinals, and one of the urinals is literally right next to the sink and a giant mirror. Like what kinda cave people put together these bathrooms I have no idea.

"The world we live in advances tremendously every day."
It really doesn't tho. 99% of all things that have ever lived are extinct now, and humans themselves are heading toward an extinction level event.

Unless you wanna call fortnite and flip phones "advancing".
