Glutathione is a key antioxidant that helps the liver neutralize acetaldehyde, a toxic byproduct of alcohol metabolism. While liposomal glutathione supplementation can replenish depleted glutathione levels and may reduce oxidative stress or hangover severity, there is no clinical evidence that it increases the actual speed of ethanol metabolism or lowers blood alcohol concentration (BAC) faster than the body's natural enzymatic rate.

The date of 11,800 years ago mentioned in the claim is incorrect, as it aligns more closely with the end of the Younger Dryas period (approximately 11,600 to 11,700 years ago) rather than the proposed impact event at its onset.
