FLAGYL itself is an Alcohol with Nitrogens attached to it.
👇
2-(2-Methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl) ETHANOL

The added Moieties to the ETHANOL makes it effective on ANAEROBIC BACTERIA.

A Quick Remainder that ALCOHOL can be used as DISINFECTANT against microbes,
which kill than via DENATURATION.

FLAGYL blocks the effects of this Alcohol dehydrogenase (the enzymes that metabolises Alcohol).

As a result, a person on Flagyl cannot fully digest alcohol.
Hence, drinking can cause ACETALDEHYDE (toxic) to build up in the bloodstream.
