It is suggested that some of the behavioral effects of ethanol, including its psychomotor properties, are mediated by beta-endorphin and opioid receptors.

However, it has been reported that, in primary hypothalamic cultures, the ethanol-produced beta-endorphin release is mediated by the enzyme catalase.
