Quizplus · Accepted Answer

John's primary metabolic system in this context is the Microsomal Ethanol Oxidizing System (MEOS), which becomes more active with higher levels of alcohol consumption. This system is involved in the metabolism of ethanol, especially when the alcohol dehydrogenase pathway is saturated due to high levels of alcohol intake.
