When you drink, enzymes in the liver known as alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) convert alcohol to an organic compound called acetaldehyde; another enzyme then converts acetaldehyde to acetic acid.
The researchers are looking at a new chemical compound which blocks an enzyme, known as 11beta-hsd1, which helps produce stress hormones within cells.
