I've noticed that alcohol use appears to increase energy level and focus fairly quickly after ingestion. I suspect there may be a transient activating effect on mitochondria in which alcohol acts as a sugar. In this forum, it is discussed that alcoholism and hypothyroid are associated. Also carbohydrate craving is common among recovery alcoholics. Even some have noted that a low carb diet appears to increase alcohol craving.
Anyone have any research that shows that alcohol can have an initially activating effect on mitochondria? Seems like an interesting line of inquiry to help those with alcohol cravings.
Thanks!
