I found a research paper with the same title as this post. You can view it (PDF) here.
It suggests that colonic bacteria have a significant role in ethanol elimination (they produce the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase which converts ethanol to acetaldehyde). This is possibly why you can't drink as much when you modify your gut microflora (e.g. by eliminating carbohydrates or taking antibiotics).
