As someone who loves OChem and Molecular/Cellular Bio, this is right up my alley! But without knowing the specific substance being taken along with the alcohol, this can only be discussed in general terms. Alcohol, particularly ethanol, is known to have unique properties that can influence the permeability of biological membranes. When a polar substance is combined with a small amount of alcohol, it tends to enhance the solubility of that substance, potentially facilitating its absorption. Ethanol can also disrupt the lipid bilayer of cell membranes, which may allow for better penetration of polar molecules. Additionally, the absorption is typically better when these substances are submerged in a liquid rather than being dry, as hydration and solubility play crucial roles in sublingual absorption. Yet, it’s important to approach this with cautiously considering the potential impact of alcohol on the mucous membranes and overall health, especially over time.
