    During the metabolism of alcohol, alcohol will be broken down by alcohol dehydrogenase in the liver to produce acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is considered to be a toxin in the body, with the help of glutathione, it is metabolized and eliminated. However, if a large amount of alcohol is ingested, the glutathione stored in the body will be depleted. At this time, the liver will work quickly to produce more glutathione to metabolize acetaldehyde. Glutathione is composed of cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine. Eggs are rich in cysteine, which can help glutathione synthesis.
