Ethanol from 2 (low blood alcohol concentration) to about 10 (high blood alcohol concentration) is excreted directly through the lungs, urine, and sweat but is mostly metabolized by acetaldehyde in the liver. The above pathway ultimately produces acetaldehyde. People with allergies are allergic to acetaldehyde. High or low concentrations will be reflected in people allergic to alcohol. Higher concentrations of alcohol accumulate in the liver, brain or other tissues of the body, which can cause organ damage.
