name: positive regulation of acetylcholine metabolic process
namespace: biological_process
def: "Any process that increases the rate, frequency or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving acetylcholine, the acetic acid ester of the organic base choline. Acetylcholine is a major neurotransmitter and neuromodulator both in the central and peripheral nervous systems. It also acts as a paracrine signal in various non-neural tissues." [GOC:dph, GOC:tb]
