Abstract
As early as 1933, Widmark (Widmark, 1933) reported that when either glycine or alanine was co-administered with ethanol, lowered blood ethanol levels resulted as compared to those achieved when ethanol was administered. (The subjects used were dogs.) He concluded that a stable compound was formed between ethanol and the amino acids and that this accounted for decreased appearance of ethanol in the blood.
