"Acute exposure to ethanol causes increased cAMP production whereas
chronic exposure results in heterologous desensitization. These changes
are due to accumulation of extracellular adenosine resulting from
inhibition of adenosine uptake into cells."

cAMP signal transduction system. Alcohol & Alcoholism, suppl.
