aspartic acid and Alcohol Drinking

aspartic acid has been researched along with Alcohol Drinking in 15 studies

Aspartic Acid: One of the non-essential amino acids commonly occurring in the L-form. It is found in animals and plants, especially in sugar cane and sugar beets. It may be a neurotransmitter.
aspartic acid : An alpha-amino acid that consists of succinic acid bearing a single alpha-amino substituent
L-aspartic acid : The L-enantiomer of aspartic acid.

Alcohol Drinking: Behaviors associated with the ingesting of ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, including social drinking.
