ALCOHOLURIA


Meaning of ALCOHOLURIA in English

noun

condition where alcohol is present in the urine (the level of alcohol in the urine is used as a test for drunken drivers)

COMMENT: alcohol is used medicinally to dry wounds or harden the skin. When drunk, alcohol is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. It is a source of energy, so any carbohydrates taken at the same time are not used by the body and are stored as fat. Alcohol is a depressant, not a stimulant, and affects the mental faculties
