When alcohol is consumed into the body it is converted to acetaldehyde in the liver. Acetaldehyde is a toxic substance that can be harmful to the body. For the normal drinker, the liver quickly coverts acetaldehyde into a substance called acetic acid. Acetic acid does not have the same toxic or harmful qualities as acetaldehyde. The body then converts acetic acid into carbon dioxide and water which is released through the body�'s urinary and respiratory systems.
A standard drink is any drink that contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol (about 0.6 fluid ounces or 1.2 tablespoons). This is the amount of alcohol usually found in: �'One 12-ounce beer �'One 4- to 5-ounce glass of wine �'One 1.5-ounce shot of 80-proof liquor

Abstinent alcoholics tend to sleep poorly, with decreased amounts of Slow Wave Sleep, referring to the most restful period of sleep, and increased nighttime wakefulness that could make sleep less restorative and contribute to daytime fatigue.
