Alcohol takes a rather direct route into an individual’s system. It travels to the stomach and small intestine, and from there it is directly absorbed into the blood. Its absorption can be quite rapid, especially on an empty stomach.
Since the stomach can absorb fully one-fourth of the total dose (the rest is absorbed in the small intestine), when a drink is taken on an empty stomach the maximum level of alcohol in the blood can be reached in as short a time as thirty minutes.
Drug Dose Levels and Time Factor
As blood races through the body, the alcohol travels with it and is distributed fairly uniformly throughout the body tissues and fluids. The more the individual drinks, the more his or her entire body becomes saturated with alcohol, and the more he or she will feel its effects.
A small amount of alcohol will be removed through the breath and sweat, but most of the alcohol must be processed by the liver before it is expelled from the body, via the urine. Alcohol is made up of oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon atoms, they react with chemical substances in the cells and are eventually turned into carbon dioxide and water. This metabolic process takes place primarily in the liver.
