Follow alcohol on its journey through the body to find out how it causes drunkenness and why it affects people differently.

--

Ethanol: this molecule, made of little more than a few carbon atoms, is responsible for drunkenness. Often simply referred to as alcohol, ethanol is the active ingredient in alcoholic beverages. So how exactly does it cause drunkenness, and why does it have dramatically different effects on different people? Judy Grisel explores alcohol's journey through the body.

Lesson by Judy Grisel, directed by Anton Bogaty.

This narrator is suitable for various apocalyptic talks. Whenever she's narrating I get the feeling we're all going to die and we can but accept it.

Weird how when people drink alcohol they're "a chill guy" and "hangs out at the bar often" but when I drink it it's "extremely unsafe work ethic" and "I need to leave the laboratory"

I am an Indian, and I have never really drunk. When I went to Europe, I was surprised to see that people simply do not socialise without alcohol.

Man, just watching this video makes me so thankful that I'm allergic to alcohol, thanks Ted-Ed for this video because I wanted what life is like for people who are not allergic. I only get a glimpse of it when around people drinking but this definitely gives a lot more insight into everything alcohol can actually do to a person. You rock Ted-Ed, keep it up! P.s. can ya'll do a video about Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD for short please? I want to spread awareness about what I and millions of others around the world experience everyday and can ya'll premiere the video in April please, it's Autism Awareness Month and Mental Health Awareness Month so it would be an ideal time for the video.

4:49 This scene is so cute and beautiful, I think more people need to see how others are doing and respond accordingly.

Give your writer/scripter/animator a raise, TED-ED!
