The part of the cell that detoxifies alcohol and other poisons is not the mitochondrion, lysosome, or ribosome. It is the peroxisome. The peroxisome is involved in the catabolism of very long chain fatty acids, branched chain fatty acids, D-amino acids, and polyamines, reduction of reactive oxygen species – specifically hydrogen peroxide – and biosynthesis of plasmalogens, i.e., ether phospholipids critical for the normal function of mammalian brains and lungs.
