Alcohol+Embalming fluid.

I thought this might be food for thought and I thought about it many times when I drank.

My sponsor once told me the by product of alcohol in the human body is Formaldehyde(embalming fluid). Have you heard this or found truth to it? Was my sponsor being a silly goose? I’d Google it, but I’m lazy.

Seems to hold truth. I haven’t found anything 100% scientific yet but…..

Acetaldehyde is the first and most toxic poison created by alcohol metabolism. It is a carcinogen also found in cigarette smoke, car exhaust and embalming fluid (hence the drinking term 'getting embalmed'). Scientists consider acetaldehyde to be more toxic to the body than alcohol itself. In addition to hangovers, acetaldehyde has been shown to increase the risk of contracting cirrhosis of the liver, multiple forms of cancer, and alcoholism.

damn, you're too lazy to freakin google something?!?

that IS lazy. in fact, i believe it's a new standard of laziness. i basically do nothing all day long but even i am willing to engage in the extension/flexion of fingers in order to google. there must be a special force of sloth that dwells within you. use this power wisely, my friend.
