Abstract

Objective: Alcohol consumption is readily acceptable worldwide, and despite warnings and billions of dollars spent yearly on its the present copious of The study investigated the comparative effects of pure and alcoholic on Wistar rats to in treatment compared GGT and activities of the treatment rat organ photomicrographs showed followed by the liver, kidney and brain. The GC-MS chromatograms of the respective beverages contained the following: beer 19, red wine 10 and spirit 16 constituents. Conclusion: The plasma ALT, AST, GGT activities however, did not indicate excess alcohol consumption in the animals although unusual values were observed. The histological profile on the rat organs showed that there was some form of organ damage implying that these beverages may be injurious to health. In addition, the GC-MS spectroscopy revealed that these alcoholic beverages had different proportions of the chemical constituents which may portend some futuristic threat to health.
